Presenting The Truth

Higgenbaum's Mitzvah is currently on break between seasons. In the meantime, we'll be sharing some of our favorite shows with you. This month, it's The Truth, by Jonathan Mitchell. The Truth is an award-winning dramatic fiction podcast that makes "movies for your ears." The episode you'll be hearing is called, "The Completist." I prefer to go into episodes of The Truth without knowing too much, and I'm going to encourage you to do the same. This one is a wild ride. Stick around after the episode for an interview with Jonathan Mitchell where he shares some insight into his background and his process. <span data-slate-fragment= "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
