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.2023 Chris Gethard Social Sciences

  • Ten Years in the Making
    Jun 9 2026

    This week's caller has been listening since the beginning and thinking about what she'd say when she finally got through. Ten years in, she tells Gethard about the life that's happened in the meantime: meeting her now-husband during a very heavy chapter for his family, spending a year on a sailboat, and the shape of her family today. But first, we kick things off with some Jersey mall talk.

  • I Just Want To Be a Bridge
    Jun 2 2026

    This week's caller wants to build something good in a place where help can be hard to find. She and Geth talk about small-town life in the South, harm reduction, family, survival, and finding ways to keep going when life has handed you way too much already.

  • Avatar Stories from Anonymous Benders
    May 26 2026

    For Gethard's birthday, we're doing something kinda stupid but also totally sincere: an entire episode about Avatar: The Last Airbender. After months of threatening to turn Beautiful/Anonymous into an Avatar podcast, Geth finally makes good on his word and talks to callers about bending, Zuko, Uncle Iroh, family bonding, and uh . . . a dog who isn't really a dog? Maybe? (Sorry, I still don't really know what the show is about - Andrea) and why this cartoon from 20 years ago still matters so much to so many people today. Happy birthday, Geth!
