On Hold
Test results. Your ride. Your marriage ceremony. We're familiar with the complex sentiments linked to waiting. But what about expecting a jailed romantic interest? A baby born via surrogate? Or the time between passing away and being revived? This reflective podcast, host Katy Davis collects remarkable accounts of navigating such uncertainty.
