White Coat, Black Art Introduces | Uncover: Bad Results

They needed certainty. They got chaos. For over a decade, countless people from at least five different countries put their trust in a company offering prenatal paternity tests. It promised clients “99.9% accuracy” — but then routinely, for over a decade, identified the wrong biological fathers. Investigative journalists Jorge Barrera and Rachel Houlihan track down the people whose lives were torn apart by these bad results, the shattered families and acrimonious court cases that followed, and the story behind the company that continues to stand by its testing and is still operating today.

What do 'Ask your doctor' ads actually accomplish?

Companies are spending big bucks advertising weight-loss drugs like Rybelsus and Ozempic. But in Canada, "reminder ads" can give only the medication's name, not what it's for, telling people to ask their doctor for more.

Important, Enlightening Podcast - Distracting Music

I love the topics, interviews and perspective and value system of this podcast. Thank you for talking to people in community who get a chance to have their voices and viewpoint heard. One note, after Dawna Dingwall, the producer, recently left, there seems to be a shift to more cheesy music or sound effects that can be a bit distracting
What an amazing show!
