By Its Cover

By Its Cover is a tell all book review and comedy podcast where siblings Katie and Jake try to review books after they pick them out by their cover. Jake has a rule about fully reading a book after picking it by its cover, sometimes to his dismay, and Katie has such a broad set of interests that you really never know what we’re going to review.

    Betrayal Season 5

    Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
