On Hold

Test results. Your ride. Your wedding day. Everyone knows the complex sentiments that come with expectation. Now imagine expecting a jailed romantic interest? A child delivered by a gestational carrier? Or the time between passing away and being revived? This reflective podcast, host Katy Davis hears incredible narratives of managing unpredictable situations.

The Prevention Expert

This series by a renowned production house continues their tradition of hard-hitting investigations into controversial topics.

Public records inquiries aren't the sexiest topic, but investigative reporter Jason Leopold and legal expert Matt Topic turn them into a compelling series. The stories they've unearthed by using them in the US include getting Donald Trump's chief of staff to admit to a court that the commander-in-chief's tweets aren't literal.

The Europeans: Who Does It Best?

This limited series places European countries head to head on housing, parental support and narcotics laws to establish the best. The parenting segment examines different concerns from Iceland's women's strike to the reality that highly-praised Sweden problematically reduces childcare for toddlers if the family expands. The top-ranked support service? Surprisingly, it's not Nordic.
