The Pause
Test results. The bus. Your big day. We're familiar with the complex sentiments linked to anticipation. However, consider waiting for a lover in prison? The arrival of a surrogate baby? Or the interval from death and resuscitation? This reflective podcast, narrator Katy Davis collects incredible narratives of dealing with the unknown.

Disclosure
