Your Aleatoric Reality
A show about randomness in all its forms, especially what has been termed ”Random Reality,” the use of randomness in real-life applications, including decisions, leisure activities, creativity, and problem-solving. Your hosts Misha and Damon take you on a literally random journey, exploring many topics and themes through the lens of chance. P.S. ”Aleatoric” is a synonym for ”random.”

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.
