Notable Episodes / Segments: "Call of Dating", "Where Have You Been?", "Enjoy the Suffering"
The Truth is a fiction podcast that pulls short, fully produced segments from a variety of sources to deliver one of the most unique podcasts available. To the people at The Truth, the method of delivery is as important as the story itself, and each episode features a spot-on production style to match the narrative. Be advised, though, this means that every episode will be completely different. A recent segment with a video-game aesthetic, with pitch-perfect sound effects and MIDI music, was immediately followed by a straight-forward first-person narrative with minimalist ambient sound. It's both a plus and a minus, as it's almost impossible for all of them to resonate with the same listener. Still, different as they may be, the episodes are universally great. Again, these episodes and segments can sneak up on you, so be advised that you might occasionally feel something (lose your shit). The Truth follows an irregular release schedule, but all past episodes are available to download for free.
