Tested follows the unfolding story of elite female runners who have been told they can no longer race as women, because of their biology. As the Olympics approach, they face hard choices: take drugs to lower their natural testosterone levels, give up their sport entirely, or fight. To understand how we got here, Host Rose Eveleth (they/them) traces the surprising, 100-year history of sex testing.

This is the inside story of one of the world’s most bizarre and ballsy reality dating shows.

Bachelor Of Buckingham Palace tells the gripping, entertaining and unsettling story of how Fox duped a group of women into believing they were dating a man who was fifth in the line to the British throne.

From reality TV gone awry, to the cult of celebrity, each season of Split Screen takes listeners on an evocative journey inside the world of showbiz. Ex-contestants, producers, and cultural critics uncover complicated truths behind TV’s carefully curated facades, and question what our entertainment reveals about us. Split Screen: sometimes reality is twisted. Season 1 | Kid Nation: The true story behind one of reality TV’s most controversial experiments.

I found the production well done and creative. But then I found myself shaking my head far too often to enjoy listening. Maybe it’s a cultural thing, but who on earth has conversations like this? Watching a relationship grow and then go down in flames can be interesting and inspiring. Here, I felt it did not live up to the standards that were mentioned in referencing great books at the end of the last episode.
This is heartwrenching
