Today, we're excited to share an episode from one of our favorite podcasts, The Truth.
The Truth is the critically-acclaimed fiction podcast that makes "movies for your ears." Known for cinematic sound design and naturalistic performances, the show tells emotionally rich, surprising stories that range from funny and surreal to dark and devastating. Since its debut in 2012, The Truth has set the standard for modern audio drama anthologies. Its stories, sometimes surreal, sometimes frightening, sometimes heartbreakingly intimate, have been praised for combining sharp writing with meticulous sound design and naturalistic performances.
The Truth was recently named one of Apple Podcasts' 20 Podcasts We Love: "Its true genius lies in subverting reality to create uncomfortable yet incredibly human stories." And last month it was #36 on Left of Dial Media's 100 Greatest Podcasts of All Time, which called it "smart, sharp, and hauntingly human." The Guardian has praised The Truth for "setting the benchmark for fiction-based audio anthologies."
