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.

Can Zohran Mamdani bring socialism to the USA? If he gets his way in New York City, will it work?
We talk about ghosts and whether we believe in them, but that’s not the only thing supernatural we talk about. We also cover the possible next Mayor of New York City, Zohran Mamdani, and his three big policy ideas.
- Free Busses
- Freezing Rent
- Civilian Corp Policing
Can Mamdami usher in a new culture of acceptance of socialist ideas? More importantly, where will New York City be if he manages to implement his policy proposals?
