It’s excellent writing and perfect production. Will evoke all of the things we are trying to suppress in order to keep a job and whatnot. If you are on meds for major depressive or generalized anxiety, trust me and skip it.
So pleased I stayed subscribed to the Truth. As an avid listener, I was sad when it ended a couple of years ago. How pleased I was to discover recently that new episodes had been uploaded last year! Looking forward to delving into the new episodes. Welcome back!
What fantastic writing! Disturbing and funny with a side of social commentary. I absolutely loved it!
I had to change my 5 stare review because going ahead this podcast became more and more political. I hate politics and politicians and I don't need more propaganda here. It was my favorite podcast above hundreds, I even supported it in past, the audio design is still excellent and I especially love the episodes of Casper Kelly, I wish there were more of him, but there rest is just political and woke brainwashing.
Love the show! Art, comedy, human emotion, twilight zone-ish.
