    Wondery Presents: Stolen Hearts
    Feb 6 2023

    Sergeant Jill Evans is a small town cop in Wales with an impressive record in her job, and a less than impressive record in her love life. After three engagements, two divorces and one affair, she’s beginning to worry that love is only true in fairy tales. That is until she meets: Dean. He’s a wealthy beauty entrepreneur with his own range of toiletries.

    Girl meets boy. Boy meets girl. They kiss and fall in love. Roll credits.

    But that would be boring, wouldn’t it? Instead, this is a love story like no other. It’s all going so well for Jill and Dean, until Halloween night, when Dean disappears. And Sgt. Jill is left to pick up the pieces.

    From Wondery and Novel, comes a new series. Hosted by Kerry Godliman.

Greed in Medicine

This was an eye opener about stem cell research. An unethical company used umbilical cord stem cells that severely injured some and killed others. This is the behind the scenes story. Heartbreaking, infuriating and shocking. Please note, this is NOT ad free. The constant ads are annoying.

the truth about stem cells

found this article very interesting how companies are using pseudoscience that has the hopes of causing cures but limited research actually showing that it helps

A miracle cure or curse......

This article on stem cell treatment was eye opening to say the least. At a point not so long ago I had seriously considered stem cells, so glad I didn't do it. It's a true positive to have investigative journalists do such hard and amazing work. Finding out that treatments can be a criminal enterprise just like medical devices is heartbreaking.
