There are tons of for-pleasure radio programs out there – \u00a0such as PRX Remix <\/em><\/a>and\u00a0<\/em>the classic\u00a0This American Life<\/em>. This one is not as well known:<\/p>\n

THE TRUTH<\/a> is fiction – we make short films without pictures. Movies for your ears.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Every two weeks, Jonathan Mitchell and his team deliver carefully produced, sound-rich audio dramas. I\u2019ve listened to a handful of episodes (about 10, so far), and I think\u00a0The Truth<\/em> is actually kind of hit-or-miss. Sometimes – when it misses – the plot line feels cheesy or forced.<\/p>\n

But when it hits, The Truth<\/em>\u00a0knocks you off your feet.<\/p>\n

Listening to some of these stories (in a decent pair of headphones) has an intense, visceral effect. <\/strong>They are alarmingly real.\u00a0You feel like you’re eavesdropping, and it\u2019s almost uncomfortable, – but in a good, thrilling way.<\/p>\n

This one<\/a>\u00a0about Jared, an emotionally disturbed veteran, sent chills down my spine. We experience the world from Jared’s point of view, so when horrible voices torment him, they torment us, too.<\/p>\n

I also recommend Moon Graffiti<\/a>, Falling<\/a>, and Human Intelligence<\/a>.<\/p>\n
