The CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Commission) Come by Chance podcast (2024) tells the disturbing story of children being mixed up at birth in Newfoundland.

Hosted by Luke Qinton, the podcast begins with the story of staff taking a break to celebrate the birthday of 52 year old Craig Avery. A coworker, Clarence Hynes, was born on the same day 52 years ago at the same hospital, Come By Chance.

Clarence Hynes is often mistaken for Craig’s older brother, Clifford Avery. And the men begin to explore – reluctantly – why that would be the case.

The podcast includes the stories of other babies switched at birth in Newfoundland.
