Investigative reporter Matt Katz has been searching for his biological father since he was a little kid. But it wasn't until his 40s that he realized he was on the wrong journey altogether. The true story is wrapped in confusion and secrecy, and in the end it upended the truth about who he is – raising questions about identity, fatherhood, medical ethics and what family really means. But will finding answers make him whole, or just make things even more complicated?

Inconceivable Truth is an 8-episode series with new episodes publishing Thursday mornings.

Amazing

Oh my gosh I’m only half way through but wow, such an interesting story, brilliantly told. And Richard… what a DAD!!! I adore him, so loving, cool and the kind of partner I really hope I can find one day. Looking forward to listening to the rest.

A Must Listen

I’ve easily binged all available episodes as the story is compelling and told with such openness and honesty. It’s different from anything else I’ve listened to, but that’s definitely a good thing. It almost feels like listening to a novel, but amazingly it’s his true story.
