Dead Dads

Dead Dads

Dead Dads covers everything that comes after the funeral. We talk about the stuff people usually skip: the paperwork marathons, the garages full of "useful" junk, the password-protected iPads, and the grief that hits you in the middle of a hardware store.

    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.
