I adore anthology fiction. Dipping in and out of one-off tales with no continuing threads and getting to know characters so much but for only a brief period of time is a change if pace from serialised stories. As such I was drawn to The Truth very early into my podcast-listening days and nearly a decade and over a hundred fascinating yarns later it remains one of my favourite podcasts.Without the need to linger on one cast or plot, The Truth freely moves between genres and premises, exploring interesting characters and concepts. Horror, sci-fi, comedy and straight up drama are all to be found in the rich back catalogue. Scripts are well written and the production is excellent, with sound design amongst the best in the field of audio drama.Most episodes really strike a chord though, inevitably given the range being delivered month to month, there will be some efforts that may not click for you. However, these are few and far between for me as there is usually a hook that keeps you engaged.Pay particular attention to the episodes Moon Graffiti, That's Democracy, Your Ears Are Burning and Murder at Cakery Bakery as they are excellent in such different ways.
