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.
- 1241 - A Fish With Legs
A middle school Spanish teacher calls before first period to talk with Gethard about her deskless classroom, eating chocolate in front of her students, and finding an identity beyond teaching through slam poetry. Plus: a treacherous hike and an even more treacherous situationship.

Tue, 22 Sep 2026 - 1h 10min - 1240 - Arizona to Alaska
Smoking a cigar on a riverbank in Alaska, this caller tells Gethard about the therapist's offhand suggestion that sent him north, and the long, rambling road that led him there.

Tue, 01 Sep 2026 - 1h 02min - 1237 - Prison Bound Week: Day 5 - Eight Years Later
It's Friday, and we've finally caught up.
All week, we've been following the Prison Bound caller from the original 2018 episode through three follow-ups recorded during her time in federal prison. Today, six years after our last conversation, we hear from her again.
This is an all-new call, and, after eight years, what feels like the final chapter of one of the longest-running stories in a decade of Beautiful Anonymous.
If you've been with us all week, you know how much ground we've covered to get here. If you've been with the show since 2018, you know how long we've been waiting for this one.
Here's the final follow-up with the caller we first knew as Prison Bound. Touch Tone listeners get exclusive access to 5 Random Questions with this caller. Sign up for Beautiful/Anonymous+ to get ad free episodes and access to exclusive audio.

Fri, 28 Aug 2026 - 1h 06min - 1236 - Prison Bound Week: Day 4 - COVID Lockdown
It's Thursday, and Prison Bound Week is almost caught up to the present.
We started on Monday with the original 2018 call, then followed the caller through two check-ins from inside federal prison. Today's episode comes from October 2020, as she was getting close to release. Right in the middle of COVID. It's a firsthand snapshot of what that moment looked and felt like from inside a federal prison. Like the other follow-ups this week, this call originally lived on Stitcher Premium, so there's a good chance you've never heard it before.
Tomorrow, we get to the reason we're doing all of this: an all-new conversation with the Prison Bound caller, six years later.
But today, we hear what life was like for our caller in the fall of 2020.

It's Wednesday, and Prison Bound Week continues.
We started Monday with the original 2018 call, and yesterday we heard from our caller nine months into her sentence. Today's follow-up comes from October 2019, about halfway through her time in federal prison.
These follow-ups originally aired on Stitcher Premium, which means a lot of you have never heard them before. We'll keep following the story tomorrow, then on Friday we'll hear from the Prison Bound caller again in an all-new conversation. And for our Touch Tone subscribers, you'll get exclusive access to her turn answering our 5 Random Questions.

It's Tuesday, which is normally when you get your weekly episode of Beautiful Anonymous, but this week, we're doing things differently.
Yesterday, we went back to the original "Prison Bound" call from 2018. Today, we're checking in with the caller nine months into her federal prison sentence.
A heads-up: this one is short. These calls were coming from inside prison, and we were figuring out the logistics as we went. But this is just one piece of a much bigger story: you're getting a whole week of follow-ups, including three calls that most listeners have never heard before, leading up to an all-new conversation with our Prison Bound caller on Friday.

Tue, 25 Aug 2026 - 18min - 1233 - Prison Bound Week: Day 1 - The First Call
Yes, it's Monday. Yes, Beautiful Anonymous is in your feed a day early. We're doing something a little different this week. Eight years ago, a caller phoned Beautiful Anonymous four days before reporting to federal prison. The episode became one of the most memorable (and divisive) calls in the history of the show.
Now we're going back to the beginning. All week, we'll follow the Prison Bound caller's story through years of follow-ups most listeners have never heard, ending Friday with a brand-new conversation and the conclusion of a story we've been sharing since 2018.
It's the kind of thing that could probably only happen on this show. Here's where it started.

This week's caller has a full-time job, a toddler, and somehow also helps run an anime convention in their spare (lol) time.

Plus, an energetic 18-month-old brings some adorable kid chaos to the call.

Tue, 04 Aug 2026 - 1h 09min - 1229 - A Completely Normal Call That Goes Exactly As Planned
Let's all agree we can blame Mercury retrograde for the technical difficulties we had in getting this one off the ground. The rest of the chaos, though, is entirely on this week's caller, a true maker of mischief who calls in on their birthday eve eve looking for a little trouble. They come in hot with a competition that pits Maryland against New Jersey, but it's not all fun and games. She and Gethard talk existential comics, understanding heritage, and the weirdness of childhood. Plus, Geth tells us why he's the most inspired he's been in years. Most importantly though, this caller and the High Priestess pull off a perfect, not-at-all-confusing soundboard bit. Hell yeah, brother.

Then she shares something that really shifts the energy of the rest of the conversation toward the slightly, delightfully unhinged.

Tue, 24 Mar 2026 - 1h 09min - 1210 - Three Different Dads
This week officially marks the 10-year anniversary of the very first episode of Beautiful Anonymous, and we might have the perfect call for the occasion. Our caller learned as a teenager that the man she knew as her uncle was actually her biological father. And that's just the beginning. What starts as a soap opera-level family reveal slowly becomes something much deeper. It's a story about generational trauma, instability, and the hard work of untangling your own life with compassion. It's also the story of someone who is, honestly, cool as hell: funny, sharp, and resilient in the face of a deeply confusing childhood. A wild, heavy, and ultimately inspiring conversation about identity, forgiveness, and survival.

Tue, 28 Oct 2025 - 1h 23min - 1189 - Episode 500! (Live from Atlantic Highlands, NJ)
Here we are. Episode 500. We celebrated the only way that makes sense. With a few hundred listeners packed into a theater in Jersey and a caller whose story pretty much sums up what this show is all about.
Our 500th caller is one year out from a stay in a mental hospital. She opens up about what it was like to lose her grip on reality in a pretty intense way and shares how far she's come with self-awareness, perspective, and so much humor. She and Gethard also get deep into some classic Jersey debates with our audience (porkroll vs Taylor ham? Does Central Jersey exist?), who share some of their best roadside emergency rest stop stories and try to convince our caller to divulge her government secrets
Five hundred episodes. Wild. Thanks to everyone who's listened, called, and shared a piece of themselves with this show. Here's to the next 500.

Tue, 05 Sep 2023 - 1h 25min - 1166 - The "Love Is Everywhere" Waffle Brunch (live from Beautiful/Cononymous)
Today's bonus episode was recorded live back in May at Beautiful/Cononymous. Longtime listeners of Beautiful/Anonymous will remember Heidi and her family from the extremely special and emotionally impactful episode, "Love Is Everywhere" (episode 69, you'll want to go back and listen to that one first if you haven't yet). During that call, Heidi discussed the realities of navigating her daughter Holly's cancer diagnosis, the pain and suffering that came along with that diagnosis, and finding joy and love in all of the spaces in between. It's a call Gethard cites as changing him as an artist and a person, and we know how much the call has meant to so many of our listeners. As part of Beautiful/Cononymous, Heidi joined Gethard on stage to take a series of calls answering the topic "What does, 'Love Is Everywhere' mean to you?" It was a beautiful, unique experience. We're so happy we get to share it with you today.
This episode was recorded during the Beautiful/Cononymous waffle brunch, which was a fundraiser for Make-a-Wish Oregon, a foundation that is very important to Heidi and her family. You'll hear more about that in the episode, but if you'd like to make a donation or learn other ways to contribute, you can do so here: https://wish.org/fundraising.
