Investigative reporter Matt Katz has been searching for his biological father since he was a little kid. But it wasn't until his 40s that he realized he was on the wrong journey altogether. The true story is wrapped in confusion and secrecy, and in the end it upended the truth about who he is – raising questions about identity, fatherhood, medical ethics and what family really means. But will finding answers make him whole, or just make things even more complicated?
Inconceivable Truth is an 8-episode series with new episodes publishing Thursday mornings.

Customer Reviews
Great Storytelling
This saga is full of mensches, not just Richard, the first and best mensch. Matt, Mom, Deborah, the sibs, everyone is lovely, cool and relatable. Except that one guy, you know who I mean.
I have really been missing Heavyweight and warm, humanitarian storytelling about great people - this is that feeling. Thank you for making this Matt and sharing your story.
Fabulous storytelling and production
One of the best podcast series I’ve ever heard on so many levels. Great pacing and documentary-editing with a sense of humor and serendipity. Layers of emotion and history and synchronicity generously, carefully, and beautifully shared - together with his family - by journalist Matt Katz.
What a journey!
So well written and told. Thank you for taking us on your journey with you. I look forward to hearing, reading and/or seeing more of your work.
