About

Truman Capote once wrote, "I don't care what anybody says about me, as long as it isn't true." But more times than not, it's the hidden truths that turn out to be the most interesting. As Long As It Isn't True is a literary podcast that delves into some of literature's biggest scandals and controversies, both those well known and those less remembered.
