"Matt Katz does such a wonderful job of evoking love, confusion, and revelation as he reports on his own biological origins. This story unfolds so well across the episodes, and the writing is beautiful."

Inconceivable Truth, hosted by investigative journalist Matt Katz, is a quietly explosive dive into a story that starts as a DNA test and unravels into a labyrinth of identity, family secrets, and medical ethics. Katz, with the thoughtfulness of a confessional novelist, guides listeners through eight episodes tracing his unexpected discovery—that his presumed father wasn’t his biological one—leading him down a trail of donor insemination practices in 1970s Manhattan . What feels like a personal confession is, in Katz’s hands, a broader reckoning: how medical “secrecy” shaped generations and the emotional stakes of unearthing hidden truths. His narration is calm but urgent, the investigation both forensic and intimate. Along the way, he unspools the hidden history of fertility clinics, tracks down half‑siblings, and questions what “family” really means. It’s true‑crime meets family memoir, filtered through a moral lens. Like Pauline Kael, Katz doesn’t offer easy closure—he offers resonance. And by the final act, you're not just curious about his origins, you're haunted by the ripple effects of secrets.
