True Tales Propaganda:

True Tales of the Illuminati is a full-cast audio comedy about conspiracies gone wrong, that follows a crew of hapless illuminati goons as they bounce through history, snatching defeat from the jaws of other, weirder defeats.

In season one, they blew the secret of the pyramids. In season two they failed a fake moon landing so badly they had to actually land on the moon. Now, the award winning team behind this show needs your help to make a third season, where Beck and her team go up against… The Enlightenment!

That’s right, reason IS the font of goodness, and it’s back to the 18th century to deal with the likes of Denis Diderot, Johanne Weishaupt, and Wolfgang Goethe.

Can they match their scintillating wit? Create an objective test of intellectual acumen? Kiss?

You won’t know unless they can raise the money to make it! So head over to truetalesteam.com/crowdfund if you want to support independent, idiotic comedy.

Listen to seasons one and two here!
