CITIZEN SPOTLIGHT: THE HULL TRUTH
by Feylan and Wes (Bluebird)
This week we interviewed Wes from The Hull Truth to
talk over his weekly Star Citizen news show. For those
who haven’t heard of it we recommend you take a look
at it - it is one of the most informative and current news
sources available
for Star Citizen fans,
and we at Pulse
salute Wes for his
outstanding efforts.
PULSE: So, for those
who haven’t heard
about it, could you
explain what The Hull
Truth is?
WES: The Hull Truth
is a weekly news show
for the Star Citizen
community that recaps all the news from the previous
week that was released about the game. It’s all fact from
the developers and official channels. I don’t add stuff
that’s rumor, conjecture or opinion. Just the truth. The
Hull Truth of course :D
PULSE: What inspired you to start doing The Hull Truth?
WES: At the time I created it, I could not find a short,
concise, news show that really covered everything on a
weekly basis in a format that kept it simple. Everything
that was out there was really drawn out and long
winded with tons of misinformation, conjecture and
personal opinions. There’s definitely a place for that
stuff but I just wanted a news recap. There’s a mature
community investing in this game and I thought they
might appreciate a show that’s shorter than Wingman’s
Hangar and also includes all the other news from the
week. A lot of us have jobs, kids and wives and it’s hard
to dedicate 45 minutes of time to watch Wingman or
an hour to two hours of time to watch all these other
podcasts out there.
PULSE: Have you ever done anything like this before?

WES: I have done media related stuff before. I started
in September of 2012 with a Twitch.tv live stream. So
that this makes more sense, I was abandoned by my
biological parents and raised by my grandparents. They
are my parents to me. My grandmother passed away
suddenly in 2012. I quit my job to take over full time
medical care of my grandfather who had non-hodgkins
lymphoma for over 8 years at the time. It required a
24/7 care giver. We had to buy a new house to take
care of him because our house at the time was a 2-story
house. No one in the family had the money to really
take care of him or help with it but we were blessed to
be able to. I couldn’t let him go to a nursing home after
all the sacrifice they
made in their lives to
take me in and raise
me when I was a baby.
