Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.

DOCUMENTARY
What Happened in Nashville is a deeply reported investigation into the sudden collapse of a Tennessee fertility clinic, and the patients caught in the fallout. When the Center for Reproductive Health shut down without warning, people lost access to their embryos, their treatments were abruptly cut off, and many were left scrambling to recover money, medical records, and time they couldn’t afford to lose. Through intimate conversations with the patients who lived through it, host Melissa Jeltsen reveals the emotional and physical toll of the clinic’s abrupt closure. But the story reaches far beyond a single clinic. The series exposes the cracks in a fertility industry built on hope, high price tags and minimal oversight. What Happened in Nashville isn’t just the story of one tragedy — it’s a warning about a system where families have everything at stake and far too little protection.

This is a crucial and sensitive topic that many prefer not to discuss. Talking about Ciudad Juarez requires recognizing the serious problems and the dangers faced by those who speak out, particularly considering the persistent violence against women. These hardworking women deserve to be heard and their situation cannot be ignored.
Sad and eye opening

I listen to this podcast when it first came out. It has definitely stuck with me. I remember them talking about officials in high places that names cannot be released due to a fear on the reporter’s life. Makes me wonder now with other high officials being named in the Epstein files if it warrants coming out with those names. And if this has anything to do with the Zorro Ranch. As much as I want all predators to be held accountable and brought to justice I especially would love to see it for these women.
This will stay with you
