 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 08.37 09-12-2025 with Kelley Laughlin and The Cross Examiner
    Sep 13 2025
    In today’s episode of Truth Wanted, Kelley Laughlin and The Cross Examiner unravel some helpful points about a recent event before taking a caller who was not wearing his big boy pants.

    Jon in Canada, says that now is not the time to talk about the political stance of Charlie Kirk, people should not be saying he deserved to be shot, and we should be mourning him. As good humans, we can all condemn what happened, however, not everyone needs to grieve about it. One can care about the action and the outcome of the action, and at the same time be apathetic about the individual. If this is not the time to discuss the political stance of Charlie Kirk, when would be a better time to reflect on this? Is it cool to talk about his politics for people who agree with him, or does this rule only apply to those who oppose his views? What is the proposed solution for controversial figures being targets? How do we talk about politics without living in fear? Even when someone advocates for violence, nobody deserves what happened to Charlie Kirk. If you are a horrible person who is considering political violence, don’t do it because you will be creating a martyr.

    Catholic Traditionalist in Paris asks the hosts to define god, tries to shift the burden of proof with a bit of snark, and states that if the hosts answer his questions, it will prove god exists. To make sure that we don’t make false conclusions, we don’t start with an assumption and work backwards. Instead of complaining and claiming repression, why don’t you provide refutable proof that god exists? When you don’t call to have a conversation, and prefer to whine and complain instead, you are wasting time and you get dropped. Sorry we are not on your script, man.

    Thank you for hanging out with us tonight! Godless Engineer, our back up host closes out the show with us and shares the question of the week: What is a job you can get in heaven?

    Sep 6 2025
    In today’s episode of Truth Wanted, Kelley Laughlin and Mike Brigandi sort through nihilism and the utility of spiritualism. How would this life be different if our inherent and objective purpose is only to believe in things that are untrue?

    Michelle in NY has some thoughts on the utility of god and spirituality; the earth exists because god wants us to feel good and if something is beautiful, it is true. How do we explain cancer in children based on this hypothesis? What is the difference between a cursed world and a natural world that has things you don’t like? The belief in unicorns and leprechauns may also help people feel good. How important is it that these things are true? How can untruthful statements that make you feel good, affect your life in negative ways?

    Tucker in IA is skeptical of nihilism and believes we have an inherent purpose to make this world a little bit better before we are gone. How do we know what our own inherent purpose is? If the purpose is to leave this world without regrets, how do we explain serial killers fulfilling their purpose? If purpose is not subjective, how can this objective purpose be linked with us?

    Thank you for tuning in this week! Eli Slack, our back up host joins us to review the calls and remind us of the question of the week: Name a time believers don’t mind playing god. We will see you next week!

    Truth Wanted 08.35 with ObjectivelyDan and Kelley Laughlin
    Aug 30 2025
    In today’s episode of the Truth Wanted, Objectively Dan and Kelley Laughlin explore modern alien theories with callers and remind us to keep asking: Why should we believe this?

    Lane in LA brings up the Interstellar Object 3I Atlas that will be passing by earth this November or December and the possibility of this being an alien probe. When a Harvard professor says that something could be aliens, should we have a plan to let these potential aliens know that we are here? The conversation turns to Nephilim in Afghanistan and the conspiracy theory of Navy Seals encountering them, along with huge camel spiders. Maybe AI could convince the aliens that giants are roaming the planet.

    Castle Anthrax om Canada, believes that we are on the verge of something being announced with aliens. When there are “bad actors”, does it mean there must be something greater? How can we tell the difference between people who are wishful believers and those who are intentionally spreading misinformation? Why is it that those who are the most proud of their work with intelligent life outside of earth, have the least to show for it?

    Jon in Canada is open to the idea of aliens existing. If we were to make the assumption that it is certain that aliens are out there, what are the possibilities of contact? Would this contact be a mistake? How do we hide from something that is highly advanced? Maybe we should figure out how to deal with AI before deciding what to do with aliens.

    Thank you for hanging out with us today! Our back up host, Scott Dickie joins us to close out the show and announce the question of the week. Complete the sentence: Everybody knows that vampires don’t appear in mirrors but few people know that vampires also don’t____. See you next week!
