    In Episode 13 of The Truth Today with T and A, Amy and Teal tackle one of Houston’s most disturbing ongoing conversations: the growing number of bodies recovered from Houston-area bayous and whether law enforcement is doing enough to investigate potential patterns. The hosts examine public statements, investigative concerns, forensic challenges, and the broader issue of public trust and accountability.

    The episode also dives into the massive insider trading scandal now shaking Big Law and Wall Street, where federal prosecutors allege elite attorneys and insiders used confidential merger information tied to major corporations to generate millions in illegal profits. Amy and Teal discuss the allegations, the ethics implications for the legal profession, and why the case is sending shockwaves through corporate America.

  • Episode 11: Economic Silence, Radical Kindness, and Things You Can’t Explain
    May 1 2026

    Send us Fan Mail

    This week, we explore what happens when people stop acting—and when they choose to act anyway.

    We analyze the May Day spending blackout, questioning whether consumer silence can meaningfully disrupt power structures. Then, we highlight a restaurant owner redefining generosity through quiet, consistent action.

    The conversation turns personal as we discuss real-life paranormal experiences—not as entertainment, but as events that defy easy dismissal.

    Plus:
    • Book and music recommendations with cultural depth
    • Two influential voices shaping wellness and self-healing
    • A word of the week that captures chaos perfectly
    • And a former Houston officer whose conduct raises serious concerns about trust and accountability

    Some things are visible. Others aren’t. Both matter.
