A child delivered by a gestational carrier? Or the time between clinical death and revival? This reflective podcast, narrator Katy Davis listens to extraordinary stories of managing unpredictable situations.

Journalist Dyan Neary meets parents whose kids were removed from their care after claims of mistreatment were made by the same doctor, and questions whether a preventive measure was appropriate.

Revelations

Public records inquiries may seem boring, but reporter Jason Leopold and legal expert Matt Topic transform them into a lively listen. The information they've obtained by using them in the US feature getting Donald Trump's chief of staff to testify under oath that the president doesn't mean what he tweets.

European Comparison: Top Performers
