WHAT IS TRUTH WANTED? 🤔

Truth Wanted is a show about getting to the bottom of beliefs, whether it’s karma or Christ, Bigfoot or crystals. Truth Wanted would like to know how you know it’s true.

Hosted by ObjectivelyDan, Truth Wanted takes calls from the community (that means YOU!) and features new guests every week, emphasizing thorough conversations over name-calling and scoffing (most of the time). Truth Wanted focuses on how and why people believe what they believe, and how you can talk about beliefs in more effective ways.

    Truth Wanted 9.31 with ObjectivelyDan and Richard Gilliver
    2026/08/03
    In today's episode of Truth Wanted, ObjectivelyDan, Richard Gilliver, and Kelley Laughlin examine miracles, dreams, and the psychology behind seemingly supernatural experiences.

    Jacob in ID calls to express his gratitude for the show, explaining how it serves as his secular community after seven years of listening. Living in a rural area without much access to other atheists, he finds connection through the ACA shows. The hosts thank him for his support and encourage him to keep engaging with the community.

    Katie in VA shares her experiences with precognitive and visitation dreams, keeping a detailed dream journal of coincidental events. She describes dreams about deceased people and specific details that later seemed to come true. The hosts discuss Littlewood's Law, which explains how seemingly miraculous coincidences are statistically inevitable given enough opportunities. They explore the Texas Sharpshooter Fallacy, where people draw targets around bullet holes after the fact, and how memory can be unreliable. What psychological mechanisms might explain these experiences without invoking the supernatural? The conversation touches on how the Catholic Church evaluates miracles, mass hallucinations like Fatima, and the misinformation effect in eyewitness testimony. How do we distinguish between genuine precognition and pattern-seeking brains finding connections that aren't really there?

    Truth Wanted 9.30 with ObjectivelyDan and The Beard of Empathy
    2026/07/27
    In today's episode of Truth Wanted, ObjectivelyDan, The Beard of Empathy, and Sofia Spina explore deconstruction journeys, recycled god arguments, and the psychology behind psychic belief.

    Kelly in OR, a veteran and retiree, shares how finding the term deconstruction gave her a framework for understanding her exit from fundamentalist religion. The hosts discuss processing anger and resentment that often accompany leaving deeply held beliefs. What tools help navigate the emotional aftermath of religious trauma?

    Felix in Puerto Rico returns with a dichotomy argument claiming reality's existence proves God. The hosts point out he's reading from the same script as his previous call and challenge his false dichotomy. Why does repeating an argument verbatim not make it more convincing?

    Frank in CA insists psychics are real because they exist across cultures and supposedly predicted 9/11. The hosts explain cold reading techniques, confirmation bias, and how widespread belief doesn't establish truth. Why do people remember the hits but forget the countless misses?

    Thank you for joining us this week! We will see you next time!

    Truth Wanted 9.29 with Kelley Laughlin and Rion Cultastic
    2026/07/20
    In today's episode of Truth Wanted, Kelley Laughlin and Rion Cultastic tackle epistemology, biblical morality, and the search for evidence!

    Adam in NC raises concerns about mythicism and how non-believers can be tricked into false claims. He argues that Jesus likely existed historically despite lacking strong scholarly support for mythicism. How do we separate historical claims from religious ones? What standards of evidence should we apply to ancient figures?

    Billy in KY challenges the show's claim about worshiping an evil God. The conversation heats up when hosts point to biblical slavery and the flood as examples. Billy defends religious people and shares his Iranian wife's perspective on Middle East conflicts. Can we separate believers from the beliefs they hold?

    Jake in MD, a deist, asks if there's truly no evidence for or against God. Hosts discuss ignosticism and the lack of a universal God definition. Jake argues for God based on cause and effect, but Kelley introduces indefinite causal order research. Does causality require a first cause?

    Eugene in WA insists God is all good, not evil. He claims physicists find God through research and that Jesus has more evidence than anything else. Eugene shares a nail gun incident as proof of God's intervention. Do personal experiences count as evidence for everyone?
