    Special Announcement - JUDGE TRAVIS @ The Signal Awards

    This ispecial announcement regarding It’s All True! host Tim Barnes’ scripted audio series JUDGE TRAVIS. The series has been nominated for two Signal Awards: Best Writing and Scripted Fiction! Apparently, this is one of those things like the Webby Awards that requires friends and fans to vote. We’re up against some heavy hitters, so if you’re up for it, I’d appreciate a vote for JUDGE TRAVIS! IN THIS EPISODE: Behind-the-scenes audio reveals Judge Travis’ lifestyle of serial cheating, tarnishing his stern “America’s Dad” persona in the process. To make matters worse, his producer Jax learns he’s been cheating on the show by pursuing work with the network’s rival, Streamo. Later, Judge Travis presides over a case between actor Tony De La Croix and makeup artist Alina Hutch. Tony claims Alina put him in blackface for the film without him noticing it.
