Ashton Forbes hosts Hard Truths, a podcast dedicated to examining the edges of our understanding. Each episode digs into scientific concepts or investigative reports that often don't make it to mainstream discussion, focusing on ideas that challenge conventional narratives in physics, technology, and broader scientific inquiry. You'll hear detailed explorations of complex topics, presented not as definitive answers but as pathways for deeper questioning. The conversations in this podcast are driven by a curiosity about how our world really works, pulling on threads from published research, historical analysis, and contemporary tech developments. It’s for anyone who feels that the full story is sometimes left untold. Tuning in means joining a thoughtful, sometimes provocative dialogue that respects the rigor of science while acknowledging the mysteries that remain. Forbes guides these discussions with a steady hand, aiming to illuminate corners of reality that deserve a closer, more honest look. The result is a consistently engaging audio experience that pushes listeners to reconsider what they think they know.
