Inconceivable Truth
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? “One of those rare stories in which a deeply personal narrative collides with a hidden history. I count it among my favorites of all time.” – Vogue, The Best Podcasts of 2024

Matt Katz has been searching for his father since he was a little kid. But it wasn't until his 40s that he realized he was on the wrong journey altogether.
As a kid, my biological father was in and out of my life. Then, he disappeared entirely. When I finally found him again, it left me with even more questions.

Chasing ghosts, and finding love, where it all began. Sometimes you’re so focused on what you want, that you forget what you already have.
