Summary

We’re in the middle of a fundraising campaign to bring the show back in October. We’ve been working hard on some new scripts we're hoping to make, and in the episode we'll hear from Mary McDonnell about the story she’s working on.

We have all new merch for sale, and for a limited time, we're taking pre-orders for a vinyl pressing of Silvia's Blood and Moon Graffiti. To see what we have to offer, go to:

https://certifiedcrucial.com/truthshop

We’re taking pre-orders through June 22. The album cost is $40, and all of the profits will go to making a new season of The Truth.

And if you don't have $40, we're also selling buttons, stickers, and a brand new t-shirt design based on our logo. So if you love our stories and want to hear more, help us make a brand new season by pre-ordering your very own vinyl pressing of Silvia's Blood and Moon Graffiti right now. We're also taking donations, every little bit helps. Thank you so much!
