Chris Gethard

Beautiful Stories From Anonymous People

Losing her job wasn't exactly the plan, but it gave this caller the reset she needed. She talks with Geth about ADHD, burnout, GenAI, and just how much drama happens offstage in community theater.

I Didn't Come Here to Win

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.

Prison Bound Week: Day 5 - Eight Years Later

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.

Prison Bound Week: Day 4 - COVID Lockdown

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.

Prison Bound Week: Day 3 - Halfway Through

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.

Prison Bound Week: Day 2 - Nine Months In

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.

Prison Bound Week: Day 1 - The First Call

A sixth-degree black belt calls from a hacker convention to talk ham radio, phone phreaking, off-grid networks, hacking E-ZPass (fine, theoretically), and whether Chinese and Russian hackers already know your mom's maiden name.

Hacker Tendencies at a Hacker Convention

This week's caller has a full-time job, a toddler, and somehow also helps run an anime convention in their spare (lol) time. Gethard gets a crash-course in anime as he talks with our caller about what happens when the thing you love starts becoming a whole lot of work. Plus, an energetic 18-month-old brings some adorable kid chaos to the call.

This One Is NOT About Avatar: The Last Airbender

This week's caller had an encounter with a psychic that is tailor-made for Beautiful/Anonymous. She tells Gethard that story, shares memories of her free-range '90s childhood, and opens up about an experience from those years that left her with a unique phobia. It might sound a little strange at first, but as she and Geth get into it, we learn just how deeply it still affects her life, to this day.

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.
