The Truth – Details, episodes & analysis

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: https://certifiedcrucial.com/truthshop We’re now taking pre-orders through June 30. 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.
