We're back! Welcome to Rashomon Season 3. This is a bit more than a trailer, it's a prologue for the story and season to come.

"Here we are sitting in the basement, characters in our own story. Making something beautiful together." This special bonus episode of Rashomon Season 2 is a story produced by Nicki Stein.

For a few years, Emily and her moms, Sammy and her family, Cara and her moms, most of the Gold-Doyle household, and Gerald and his wife would get together for Summer gatherings and Christmas get togethers. And then the reunions started to fade. Throughout the course of this experience definitions of family evolve and change. What is family? You'll hear thirteen answers to this question! Plus Hillary quotes Ann Hartman again and reflects on a Summer spent indoors making a podcast.

When Gerald travelled to India to study yoga, he discovered the books of George Gurdjieff and they changed his life. Gerald takes us through many other life changing moments, including the discovery of his biological children that came about after a few years of donating sperm to a women's clinic in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

Sammy and Emily both hear back from their sperm donor, Gerald, at the same time. And after meeting each other, they decide to meet Gerald together. And the chain of donor siblings meeting each other, each other's moms and Gerald, begins. Plus a rumination on the film The Kids Are All Right.

In the beginning of their nearly 40 year relationship, it was a struggle for Colette to come to terms with being in a relationship with Laura -- because she was a woman. And then after being together for a couple years, the relationship got easier and Colette told Laura that she really wanted to have children. But the idea of having kids also made Colette aware that her relationship would be even more in the limelight. And she wanted to be honest with her children and herself.

Sammy and Emily never imagined that having a donor dad also meant a possibility of having donor siblings. When they finally get in touch with their sperm donor they learn about each other. And six months after that... they find out about Cara.

Susan Swan never thought that she wanted children, until a plane ride with a friend who was in the middle of an alternative insemination process. This was just at the beginning of the "Gayby Boom" -- a term coined by a 1990 article in Time Magazine about a new generation of gay parents.

Ever since she was little, Emily daydreamed about meeting her donor dad. He was a prince living in a far away land, a celebrity who had sent her a necklace, and possibly even George Bush. (The latter being more of a nightmare than a daydream.) When Emily was thirteen, she found other kids who had family structures like hers. They also wondered and dreamed about the day when they might be able to meet the sperm donor who helped their moms have a child. But what really united this group of...

Growing up Sammy, her moms, and her siblings always referred to her sperm donor dad as "The Mystery Gene." There was always an air of mystery about who he was and if she would ever get to know him.

The Leonard's have a famous family story involving electrocution and a giant Christmas tree. What started as a tragedy for all slowly grew to become a National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation style comedy for everyone in the family, except for one.

Rashomon returns on April 30th for Season Two. This season you'll hear 5 families telling every side of two stories.
