In a nation that claims to value honesty, why does truth feel so dangerous?

This episode explores how discomfort, denial, and silence protect the lies we refuse to confront. When truth challenges our beliefs, our politics, or our sense of identity, many choose comfort over courage.

We look at why difficult truths are often ignored, minimized, or attacked — and what that says about who we are as a society.

What are we protecting when we refuse to listen?

Who benefits when truth is buried?

Listen. Reflect. Decide what truth demands of you.
