The Truthline Network — with Karen Hartley-Nagle

​

When politicians want you distracted, they call it complicated. When insiders want you quiet, they call it settled. The Truthline calls it what it is — and breaks it wide open.

Hosted by Karen Hartley-Nagle — former President of New Castle County Council, Founder, Publisher, Editor-in-Chief,  and Advocate — The Truthline delivers what others won’t: hard truths, sharp analysis, and the voices that power tries to silence. The Network blends reports, analysis, briefings, social feeds, the intimacy of radio storytelling with the directness of live, on-camera conversation.

You’ll hear the stories that land on kitchen tables, see the documents they don’t want you to see, and connect the dots insiders hope you’ll ignore. The Truthline isn’t noise. It isn’t spin. It’s not about echo chambers or empty slogans. It’s about the work of stripping away distractions and cutting down to the truth — the kind that can’t be hidden behind process, jargon, or backroom deals.

Karen Hartley-Nagle brings both experience and edge. For eight years she led New Castle County Council, overseeing billions in budgets and thousands of pieces of legislation. She’s fought the fights where the stakes weren’t headlines but people’s homes, schools, and communities. Now, she takes that same fight to the microphone — bringing listeners not just commentary, but clarity.

What sets The Truthline apart is its refusal to be quiet when silence is the easier choice. It’s about surfacing what’s real, even when it’s inconvenient for the powerful, and giving oxygen to the conversations that matter most.

Every Truthline piece challenges listeners to question what they’re told, to look closer, and to recognize that behind every “complicated” story is a simple truth someone doesn’t want exposed. The Network doesn’t just analyze politics and power — it tells the story of how those decisions ripple outward.

From property taxes to schools, from land use to public safety, from local battles to national trends, The Truthline draws the connections between the boardroom, the hearing room, and the living room. Expect voices you haven’t heard before — community leaders, subject matter experts, whistleblowers, and everyday citizens whose stories don’t make the evening news but should.

Expect interviews that don’t end where talking points begin. And expect a host who isn’t afraid to ask the hard questions, because she’s asked them in council chambers, in campaigns, and in communities that deserved better answers.

The Truthline with Karen Hartley-Nagle is more than independent research, radio & video podcasts, briefs, reports, and social media feeds. It’s a platform. A place where truth breaks through noise, where silence gives way to voice, and where power has to reckon with the people it too often overlooks.

If you want spin, you can find it anywhere. If you want distraction, it’s only a scroll away. But if you want the story as it is — unfiltered, unvarnished, and unafraid — then you want The Truthline.

Because silence has gone on long enough. And the truth still has a voice.
