Medical reports. The bus. Your big day. We're familiar with the mixed emotions linked to expectation. However, consider waiting for a lover in prison? A child delivered by a gestational carrier? Or the period spanning clinical death and revival? In this thoughtful series, host Katy Davis collects remarkable accounts of dealing with the unknown.

Journalist Dyan Neary interviews caregivers whose minors were placed in foster care after claims of mistreatment were attributed to a single medical professional, and probes whether a preventive measure was the right one.

Disclosure

Freedom of information requests might sound dry, but investigative reporter Jason Leopold and First Amendment attorney Matt Topic turn them into a compelling series. The revelations they've discovered through these methods in the US comprise obtaining confirmation from Trump's assistant to testify under oath that the president doesn't mean what he tweets.

The Europeans: Who Does It Best?
