The Truth

The Truth delivers original short fiction with cinematic sound design and unforgettable performances. When you press play on a new episode, there’s no telling what you’re going to get, because each episode is a brand new story with a new cast of characters, and a whole new world to explore. Some are suspenseful, others funny, or shocking, or uplifting. What you’re guaranteed is incredible performances, thoughtful writing, and detailed, immersive sound design that pulls you in and never lets go. If you're new, some good starting places are: The Dark End of the Mall, Silvia's Blood, Can You Help Me Find My Mom, The Hilly Earth Society, or Robocalls. Listening with headphones is recommended!

A pinball obsessive is enlisted by the police to help lure a mob boss out of hiding, giving him a chance to prove that pinball isn't just a game. 

Written by Hunter Nelson, with direction, sound design, and original music by Jonathan Mitchell. Performed by David Bluvband, Ben Rameaka, Samantha Nugent, Jordan Mahome, Drew Reilly, Sebastian Conelli, Josh Tobin, Bill Rohlfing, and David Deblinger.

Operation Skill Shot

On this episode, we're presenting two of our favorite stories:

Silvia's Blood was originally released in 2014, and is based on a short story by Philip K. Dick titled, "Upon the Dull Earth." 

Moon Graffiti was the first episode of our show, which began in 2012. It was inspired by a speech written for Richard Nixon by William Safire titled, "In Event of Moon Disaster."

We’re in the middle of a fundraising campaign to bring the show back in October. 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:
