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

    This week’s caller joined Gethard at 10:30 on a Friday night to talk about wrestling and her love of a New Jersey ska band, but the conversation quickly turned into something else entirely. We hear about her tugboat captain husband (who happens to have Geth’s secret dream job), her own work representing our most vulnerable population, and the utterly baffling hobby that’s taken over her home. Somehow, this one-hour call manages to hit all the Beautiful/Anonymous sweet spots: unique jobs, highly specific interests, and someone doing the kind of quietly heroic work that keeps the world turning.

  • Teenage Entrepreneur
    Jul 15 2025

    In another installment of our unofficial “The Young People Are Alright” series, a 19-year-old entrepreneur calls in to talk about hustle culture, mental health, and the lessons he’s learning from his first relationship. He’s thoughtful, ambitious, and asking big questions about what it means to grow up in a world where the American Dream feels increasingly out of reach and the future is anything but certain.

  • Your Kid's Not Broken. They're Just Different.
    Jul 8 2025

    This week’s caller is a mom of two young boys doing her best to face life head-on. Her oldest son is autistic and recently diagnosed with depression. She talks with Gethard about parenting a neurodivergent child, advocating in a world that doesn’t always get it, and staying grounded through it all with warmth, humor, and zero B.S.

I really love this podcast because it helps me have empathy for people who are different from me. on the same note it helps me know I'm not alone. it is random but also very intentional. it reminds me we are all human and have unique experiences that bright is to where we are today

real humanity!

Loved this caller! Hilarious and thoughtful. An "agent of chaos", indeed. I hope you get that triple dick pic and many more, well beyond your 40's.

Delightful

You wasted your time and a little bit of my time in recording these stories. Why don’t you get a life?

A waste of time
