“Today’s episode was so good! The discussion of women in vegetative state becoming wombs. So frightening. Read Kazuo Ishigura’s book Never Let Me Go. A dystopian look at society and certain people who live to grow “spare parts” for the chosen. We are getting closer to this in society. We should be...”Read full review »

“While I wasn’t adopted, my father grew up without his father and never really knew much about him. Ancestry DNA helped me find him and also my father’s half siblings-who were so open and wonderful. We now see each other several times a year and I’m so lucky to have found them. I’ve done genealogy...”Read full review »

“First the hosts have a great conversational style which makes it Very easy to listen to. I’m not adopted or an NPE but my father is (NPE); however, the stories are still relatable and entertaining. I also like the discussions focused on the DNA aspect.”

“I just finished bingeing all the episodes and it has been great. So much fun for gen geneas. There’s a charming rapport between Julie and Rich (though sometimes a tad bit over much chit chat off topic). I live the “from the trenches” updates.”
