What we try to do is give our listeners access to information
and perspectives that are muted or overlooked by mainstream
media here in the States. When we cover stories that are in
the mainstream, we hope to bring you unique views and analysis,
including those of eyewitnesses directly affected by the day's
events, instead of solely depending on the opinions of politicians
and those in big business.
In this way, we hope to undo the framing and myths that are
perpetuated by big media, fueled by partisan political machines
and forced into sound bite sized messages that are frighteningly
easy to digest and regurgitate. Using long form interviews,
we also hope to give our audience the context necessary to
understand today's most important issues.
More simply, we do not want to tell our audience what to think,
but what to think about. At least, this is our goal ... and
we try to do this without boring you to death.
The host of This is Hell is Chuck Mertz. The show is
produced by Drew Colglazier, Taylor Deare
and Trevor Ewen.
Drew Youngren and Kate O'Donnell have both moved
into their new position of producers-at-large and are now
being featured as correspondents.

of Voices in the Wilderness who once interrupted an 'Oprah!'
