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.

Customer Reviews
Love this podcast!
I was hooked from the first episode. Episode 6 was especially interesting. Loved hearing Christina talk about how she helps connect people with their relatives. And, she really articulated how as a society we should be prioritizing the perspectives of the children and their rights, as opposed to keeping the secrets of the past generations.
Amazing
What a wonderfully executed story of your dna discovery. As a fellow NPE, without any resolution, I really loved how your search to get to know him continued with us. I hope you keep us in the loop as you find more details.
Thanks
This was so well done, Matt. Thanks for this excellent storytelling journey.
