A Placeholder for "Truth Picks"

A Placeholder for "Truth Picks"

I am officially launching a mini-weekly podcast on April 20th 2020 - prior to that? I'll be providing weekly updates and details. 

Each of these 'teasers' will include an even smaller 'cast called 'Powerplugs', something I created long before Podcasting became a thing.

So, if you're interested in something unusual, thought stirring and provocative? Stay tuned for more details.
