- Clarity for us all
In Truth, Lies, and Media, I have finally found a Rosetta Stone for the modern world; one that translates the capricious and often intentionally confusing media milieu into something that is both intelligible and prescient.
Muller and Chvastek and their guests, bring combined insight, wisdom and clarity to an information age that is chatacterised by bias, obfuscation and shameless dishonesty.
Suddenly the curtain is pulled back and I am immensely grateful for this production.

Absolutely love this podcast. Both hosts cut through all the bulldust with their extensive knowledge of the media & governments with their lies & machinations. Wish there were more independent podcasts like this one. Nicole & David certainly make a difference to the usual guff we are forced to listen to by others
