Genealogy seems to be the rage these days. Between Ancestry.com, 23andme.com, and the various television shows, we all want to know where we come from.
The new podcast, Inconceivable Truth, follows WNYC reporter Matt Katz as he discovers that the man he called his father was not his father. After years of infertility, Katz’s parents sought out the medical industry to have a child. Neither he nor his mother knew that the doctor’s actions would change the course of their lives.
So far, I have listened to five of the eight episodes and I am thoroughly addicted. Using every journalistic tool in the toolbox, Katz went on a wild ride of a journey to discover the paternal history that had alluded him for decades.
Trying to find out the familial secrets of the past is hard enough. But to find out that the people you call family have no biological or genetic connection to you, that is a mind trip times ten.
Do I recommend it? Absolutely.
New episodes of Inconceivable Truth are released every Thursday.
