Welcome to The I Know This Much Is True podcast, the latest TV series podcast from Pod Clubhouse! Each week, a rotating lineup of hosts will discuss I Know This Much Is True, the new six-part limited series from HBO.

Starring Mark Ruffalo (playing identical twins), I Know This Much Is True is based on the 1998 novel from Wally Lamb of the same name. It's been adapted for television, written and directed by Derek Cianfrance (Blue Valentine; The Light Between Oceans).

In this podcast episode, Caroline, Stef and Mike sit down to discuss Episode One. This is a heavy TV show, light on laughs but loaded with serious and important issues and overtones. Appropriately, the hosts have a very real conversation about issues that affect many families, including mental illness, family members with disabilities, dealing with the system, and familial and religious guilt.

We hope you join us each week to explore not only I Know This Much Is True but also, the issues it raises about how we all get along in this world.
