Truth Tastes Funny with Hersh Rephun

Truth Tastes Funny is a weekly conversation with Hersh Rephun and a special guest about the strange, fascinating, and often invisible ways human beings create meaning. How we form opinions. How we misunderstand one another. How we flatten complexity into certainty. And how those interpretations quietly become the reality we live inside. In a post-truth world, people rarely respond to reality first. They respond to what they believe reality means. Once that interpretation takes hold, everything else starts organizing around it. Each episode explores how ideas spread, identities form, assumptions harden, and why two intelligent people can walk away from the same experience with completely different stories about what just happened. Expect topical conversations. Unexpected observations. A few uncomfortable realizations. Plenty of laughter. And the occasional moment when you catch yourself doing exactly the thing we're talking about. The podcast also offers a glimpse into "First Contact Live," Hersh's weekly forum where guests discover, in real time, how other people interpret their work on first contact. Because the goal isn't simply to communicate more clearly. It's to better understand how communication becomes reality in the first place.
