The Truth to Power Show

Hosted by Vijay RxNathan, Douglas G. Cala and Susanna McDonald every Sunday at 7:00am

This is soapbox therapy where we unearth our creative process with the intention of revealing the truths that underlie our own empowerment with poetry cohosts and conversations with community members. We go where mainstream media is unable or unwilling to go. We explore our own psyches as much as the collective psyche. We're here to dig deeper into the collective soul.
