Uncover

They needed certainty. They got chaos. For over a decade, countless people from at least five different countries put their trust in a company offering prenatal paternity tests. It promised clients “99.9% accuracy” — but then routinely, for over a decade, identified the wrong biological fathers.

Investigative journalists Jorge Barrera and Rachel Houlihan track down the people whose lives were torn apart by these bad results, the shattered families and acrimonious court cases that followed, and the story behind the company that continues to stand by its testing and is still operating today.

New episodes of Uncover: Bad Results drop every Monday starting Oct. 28.

Stats: Statistics are produced by Chartable to help Uncover to understand how many downloads it is getting, or how many people are listening. Your device’s IP address and user agent is used to help calculate this figure. Triton Digital is IAB v2 certified. Here is more detail about podcast statistics.

Tracking and attribution: Triton Digital and Chartable or their partners may connect the fact you listened to this podcast to an action elsewhere on the internet. For example - they may spot a device that downloaded an episode of Uncover later visited the website of an advertiser; or they may track that a device that listened to Uncover also listened to a different show. This form of attribution is used to measure advertising effectiveness.

Dynamic content insertion: Triton Digital may use limited data that they know about you - the device you’re using, the approximate location you’re in, or other data that can be derived from this, like the current weather forecast for your area - to change parts of the audio. Uncover may do this for advertising or for other forms of content, like news stories.

Uncover is able to use the above tools since its podcast host or measurement company offers this service. It doesn’t mean that this individual podcast uses them, or has access to this functionality. We use open data.
