Podcast Description
On Truthache, we talk about the elephant in the room – those edgy topics that everyone is thinking, but afraid to talk about. We bring in a wide range of guests for expertise and perspective. Join us for conversations like: Is investing in the arts charity, a waste or economic development? Does everyone deserve to own a home even if someone else has to fund it? Can the government ever really be efficient, and does it matter how it gets there? Are nonprofits wasting federal funding or doing the government’s dirty work? On Truthache, there’s no sides, just vibes. Join Michael Salemi, Daniel Herndon, and Aaron Douglas and our guests as we cover the hard stuff we all are aching to talk about.
