Come by Chance

If you’ve ever been to Newfoundland, you know it’s a place where fog can envelop you so deeply, you don’t know where you’re going or where you came from. When two men, born in the same rural Newfoundland hospital on the same day, discover an unbelievable 52-year-old secret, it changes the way they see themselves forever. But this isn’t the end of the story. Because it turns out these men are not alone. A series of other close calls and near misses have begun to emerge, and not only at Come by Chance hospital. Come By Chance is a story about what it means to belong in a family — and how a twist of fate can upend the life you thought you knew.


Hosted by Luke Quinton. Seven episodes releasing Tuesday, June 4, 2024.

    Facinating
    Come by chance is a well written series of interviews that gives a revealing look at families who had a baby switched at birth. One member of the family is concentrated on, maybe due to some not wishing to participate. I’d love to find out how the other switched adult felt. Very well researched

    So Well Done
    I was so sorry when I came to the end of the last episode. Such a human story, beautifully told. I wish all of the people in this story peace and comfort.

    Powerful!
    Such a beautifully executed podcast! Voices are clear, easy to understand and relate to. The energy throughout the podcast is calm yet earnest. My heart felt heavy throughout, but I could not stop listening.

    Fantastic
    I am a podcast junkie. I’m so addicted to my podcasts I’ve basically given up tv. This podcast however is one of the most authentic, interesting and the host is fabulous. I laughed cried and then felt the love. Thank you for the hard work putting this podcast together. I binged this in a few hours and I am sad I’m on the last episode.

    Impeccably told tragedy
    This story reminds us we are all perpetually a dice roll away from cruel & twisted fate. My heart goes out to those 4 & their families in this brilliantly executed podcast.

    Confusing story telling
    I'm lost for who is who at every turn as the journalist telling the story doesn't clarify who is speaking frequent enough- I'm far enough in that I wish he would talk about how these supposed twins were even separated at all. I want to like this but I honestly lost.

    Fascinating story
    Well told, captivating personalities, now I want more from you.

    Fantastic, yet heartbreaking.
    What a beautifully executed podcast. The host is so thoughtful and gentle… such a soothing voice. I could hardly bear how sad and frustrating the storyline was. I hope all those people find peace. I feel like I’ll think about them for a long time. Also? Those beautiful accents were a surprising treat! Note: paying 1.99 to hear such a well-done story is the bargain of a century. I can’t understand why people think podcasts should be free.

    Fascinating and complex story
    Thanks for sharing these families’ stories.

    Click bait
    How about you wait until all the episodes are available to listen to before you go luring people to come listen to the show. I can remember it long enough to wait 3 weeks to get to the ending.

    Such an interesting story but so slowww
    The story is really intriguing and quality of podcast is amazing but I swear you hear the same lines over and over. The story moves very slowly. I had to stop listening mid episode on episode 3 because it was the same exact comments the whole time about how similar the two looked like each other and that they were born in the same hospital (which we learned in episode 1)

    Only 1-4 free 😒
    Bummed I didn’t notice only the first half is free. I was enjoying the episodes, and I didn’t see the second half is for subscribers only. Will the other ones become free at some point? The show is very entertaining and pulled me right in. Hoping I’ll be able to hear the rest soon!

    Great podcast!
    The first four episodes were terrific. From listening to the podcast and reading the notes I understand that the story extends beyond these two families. But the last three episodes are subscription only. I can’t justify getting a subscription for rhree episodes of any podcast. So, thank you!!

    Best story I’ve heard in a while
    American listener- so happy to stumble across this series- such a gripping, well produced human interest story. Thankful to both families for sharing it with us. Also enjoyed learning about Newfoundland and hearing the local dialects. The best type of podcast!
  • CMLinDC
    So far so good
    I’m two episodes in and hooked on this story. Love the dialects too.
