New from NPR's Embedded podcast and CBC in Canada: Would you alter your body for the chance to compete for a gold medal? That's the question facing a small group of elite athletes right now. Last year, track and field authorities announced new regulations that mean some women can't compete in the female category unless they lower their body's naturally occurring testosterone levels. You'll meet one of those runners, Christine Mboma, a reigning Olympic silver medalist, and hear about the difficult choice she faces. Tested is a six-part series, you can binge all the episodes now in the Embedded podcast and the CBC feed. Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoices NPR Privacy Policy

These stories make me think harder and connect deeper with myself. I’m sure they build more wisdom in me.

Before: It blew me away. Very well edited and informative. And the discussion is very in depth. Great job! And PLEASE keep doing this! I and my brain need it. Thanks! Now: the quality declines so rapidly it’s unbelievable. First it’s the episode when a girl regrets on confront a much elder man who harassed her in public, thinking “I’m overreacting”. At the same time of me-too movement. When harassed women finally had the courage to speak out but still ppl attacking them for “making a scene” “just didn’t it for their career” etc. seriously invisibles why that episode at that time? Even if it’s a good story why share it now? Even after that I still stayed for your show just cuz how amazing it used to be. Now this time, it’s about empathy for incels?? I’m sure jack turned out to be “not so bad” but incel is an twisted philosophy/ideology that wants women as their property and hurt woman if they obey. It’s not about this one guy turned out to be ok in the end so everything is fine. No! It’s not significant enough to share his story. And also empathy. Yeh good start but then what? You are just gonna stop there? What’s your action? To help? To stop? To empower? Or just one useless comment with least amount of effort “I understand” to make yourself feel good and “wise”? Come on, you are invisiblia not some shallow trashy show, this is not the right depth you should go for a serious topic. Anyway, I’m so disappointed. I was a long time listening since your first episode of season 1. I loved it and recommended to all of my friends and family. I gave you a chance once but not anymore. Bye invisiblia. My empathy ends here.
One of the best podcasts available

I have nothing but good things to say about this podcast. It is thought-provoking and extremely well produced. I look forward to every episode and when a new one appears I put all the other podcasts I listen to aside. (Sorry, NPR Politics Podcast). I recommend this show to everybody.
Amazing
