Beautiful Stories From Anonymous People

…

Chris Gethard

1 phone call. 1 hour. No names. No holds barred. Thats the premise behind Beautiful Stories from Anonymous People, hosted by comedian Chris Gethard (the Chris Gethard Show, Broad City, This American Life, and one of Time Outs 10 best comedians of 2015). Every week, Chris opens the phone line to one anonymous caller, and he cant hang up first, no matter what. From shocking confessions and family secrets to philosophical discussions and shameless self-promotion, anything can and will happen! Theme song by Shellshag.

Screw It, We're Just Gonna Talk About Star Trek

Look, this one is about Star Trek. Specifically, it’s about one stoned fan's deep love for Star Trek: The Next Generation. They call in to chat with Gethard about Klingon sex, favorite episodes, and the show's philosophical allure. At its heart though, this is a conversation about passion, nostalgia, and the joy of diving deep into what you love. Whether or not you're a Trekkie, that's something we can all understand.

Sexting in Korean

This one’s a wild ride. Our caller dropped just as they were being patched through to Gethard, so this one got sent through without an official screening. We had no idea what to expect, but it turned into a classic Beautiful Anonymous—starting in one place and ending up … who knows where. From learning foreign languages through sexting to practicing niche martial arts to spending time in a religion that might be a cult (you’ll need to check out this week’s bonus content for the full story), this caller brought plenty to the table.

Beautiful Follow Ups: Love Is Everywhere (Bonus Episode)

As longtime listeners of Beautiful/Anonymous know, one of the most beloved members of our community is Heidi, AKA: <a href= "https://sites.libsyn.com/480264/website/love-is-everywhere">“Love Is Everywhere”</a>. This call is a little different from our usual follow-ups. In this case, Heidi has a specific story she wants to share, and it just didn’t feel right to hide it behind the paywall. So here’s the deal: all of our listeners have access to this difficult–but so important to share–story from Heidi’s past. It's a tough conversation, but, as Heidi so rightly points out in the call, "the more these kinds of stories are shared . . . that will make it so there are less stories like this to be shared." For our Touch Tone listeners, you’ll still get our standard follow-up, where Heidi takes a turn at our 5 Random Questions generator. <a href= "https://heidibruno.substack.com/p/the-true-story-of-my-first-kiss"> You can also read Heidi’s story on her Substack</a>.

Countdown to Parenthood

This week’s caller made the possibly ill-advised choice to call in to the show from his wife’s hospital bedside mere hours after she was induced to deliver their first child. But he promised Gethard she’s cool with it, so while these highschool sweethearts wait to welcome another person into the world, they talk with Geth about impending parenthood, breaking negative generational patterns, making marriage work, and in the process prove they might just be the perfect couple. It’s a beautiful call. If you’re looking for a reason to believe in love, this one might do it for you.
