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
Thought provoking and well done
I’m not sure how I even found this podcast, honestly. I am so glad I did though. It’s brought up so many ethical questions and made me think more deeply about the importance of transparency and truth in the world of making babies. Matt does such an awesome job of weaving together his story while creating opportunities for the listener to wonder along with him on these deeper questions.
Great job on the podcast.
I was adopted which is obviously different then a sperm donation. But what kills me is the nay sayers…my guess is that they have their roots. I did not for a long time. My family were always open about where I came from. But I needed to know more the 5 sentences from the adoption paper. I applauded you for the work and time you did for YOU!
I also was donated eggs because I wanted to help families have children. I wanted more kids but the husband I was married too was just not a place for more children. This was my way of doing so. My husband at the time made me mark down ‘no contact’.
I will be contacting the company I worked with to change this. I will always be glad to give information to any children that were born 💗 Thank you!
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.
