Childhood friends Jimmy O'Brien and Jake Storiale founded Jomboy Media to share their love of all things baseball. They quickly gathered a big online following from fans who loved their humour, especially Jimmy's ability to lipread conversations between players, umpires and coaches during a game. But after Jimmy and Jake helped expose one of baseball's biggest-ever cheating scandals, their lives were forever changed. Outlook's Danny Greenwald reports.

When Kevin Fafournoux was growing up in the nineties, Kevin was a pretty popular name in France. But as he grew older, things changed, and he found people were snobby or dismissive of his name. Sometimes they even asked him if he'd think of changing it. So he set out to find why 'Kevin' is so often the butt of jokes in France - and made a film along the way: Sauvons Les Kevin, or Let's Save the Kevins.

Geeta and Ravi Patel are sister and brother, Americans from California, the children of Indian immigrants. Ravi's parents wanted him to marry another Patel, and Geeta started filming his quest to find the right one. What started out as a family video has now become an award-winning movie. Geeta and Ravi have been telling us about their family, and the film they inspired. (First broadcast in 2016.)
