If you grew up on science fiction, swords & sorcery, superheroes and a million other pop culture distractions - and maybe remember a time when it wasn’t cool to like any of those things - then this is the podcast for you. Moments of Truth is about celebrating the things we love and why they affect us. It's about the positive side of geek culture, with no toxicity, gatekeeping or punching down. Everybody’s got something they geek out about. Everybody’s got a reason why it matters to them. And everybody's welcome.
