From PRX.

Well, last year, the podcast Liberty Lost from Wondery took an inside look at Liberty Godparent Home It's in Lynchburg, Virginia, on the campus of Liberty University, an evangelical school founded by conservative activist and pastor Jerry Falwell.

Last year, we spoke to the journalist behind the podcast, TJ Raphael.

There are now nearly 500 maternity homes across the United States.

They're in 48 states.

It is my favorite podcast from 2025.

It's an investigative podcast hosted by journalist TJ Raphael about alleged coercion at a maternity home for pregnant teenagers on Liberty University's campus.

This series explores adoption trauma, religious pressure, and the resurgence of maternity homes in a post-Roe America.

Again, that's Liberty Lost Podcast.
