There's a version of every story that's technically accurate. Dates, times, the exact sequence of events. And then there's the version you tell at a dinner party, the one that lands, that makes people lean in, that captures what it actually felt like to be there.
Truish is a show about that second version.
Each episode, host Thomas J. Brown sits down with a guest and invites them to tell a true story from their own life. Something that happened to them, maybe something wild, maybe something mundane that turned unexpectedly profound. And they tell it the way good storytellers have always told stories: around a fire, with a little embellishment, because the truth is better that way.
We don't fact-check. We just listen, and we let the story be as true as it needs to be.
About Thomas
Like most humans, Thomas J. Brown likes stories. He likes hearing them and he likes telling them, which is why he earned a B.A. in Electronic Media and Film from Eastern Washington University. As a kid, Thomas hosted fake radio shows, which he recorded onto cassette tapes. He eventually became a real DJ during college, hosting several shows on KEWU, and then later on KYRS.
Truish is Thomas's third foray into podcasting, following ALLOpod in 2005 and Almost Plausible in 2022.
When he's not working on podcasts, Thomas enjoys cooking, playing video games, and watching movies. And telling stories, of course.
