On Hold
Medical reports. Your ride. Your wedding day. Everyone knows the conflicting feelings associated with anticipation. Now imagine expecting a jailed romantic interest? The arrival of a surrogate baby? Or the time between death and resuscitation? This reflective podcast, host Katy Davis collects remarkable accounts of dealing with the unknown.
The Preventionist
This series from a major media investigative unit upholds their legacy of in-depth reporting into controversial topics. Journalist Dyan Neary meets parents whose minors were taken away after reports of harm were linked to the same doctor, and examines whether a preventive measure was justified.
