Truthless

8. The Big Stick, With Tyler Parker


Listen Later

Tyler was the biggest, baddest slugger on his small-town Little League team—until the day he realized he was scared of the ball. To get out of facing an intimidating pitcher, 8-year-old Tyler told a lie that made him feel guilty for decades to come. Has the time come for adult Tyler to forgive himself?


Host: Brian Phillips


Producers: Mike Wargon, Conor Nevins, and Vikram Patel


Sound Design: Kaya McMullen


Mixing and Mastering: Scott Somerville


For more from Tyler, check out his hilarious and heartbreaking first novel, A Little Blood and Dancing, which Brian once described as “the funniest novel about Oklahoma since The Grapes of Wrath—only Tyler is doing it on purpose.”
