WASBAND Sep 30, 2025

But the playa stays in the mix throughout, a touchstone for how this caller has tried to redefine life along the way. And, of course, we make a stop at the Orgy Dome.

Roller Derby Coaching, Chocolate Making Psychologist Sep 09, 2025

Polyamorous Witch Librarian Who Also Worked at a Brothel Aug 26, 2025

Does what it says on the tin. Gethard talks to a polyamorous witch librarian who once worked the front desk at a brothel, surprisingly perfect training for library life. They get into the realities of coven community, late-discovered neurodivergence, leaving a faith tradition, and why public libraries are such vital spaces, now more than ever. It’s wide-ranging but never scattered. More like a life filed neatly into sections by someone who knows how to organize a catalog.

Tugboat Life Aug 12, 2025

A couple weeks back, Gethard talked with a lawyer whose husband came up a few times. We learned two key facts about him: he’s got a lot of birds, and he works on a tugboat. Well, he got through this week, and that means Geth got to ask him a few questions about the birds and a million more about life aboard a tugboat. It’s a conversation packed with oddly fascinating details about this very specific, rarely discussed job.

Vietnam Veteran Aug 05, 2025

This week, Gethard talks to a Vietnam veteran with a lifetime of stories. He’s never listened to the podcast, but his granddaughter has, and she encouraged him to call in as a way to share and preserve the experiences he’s carried for decades. He recounts some harrowing moments from his childhood before walking us through the catastrophic day in Vietnam that changed the course of his life. It’s a conversation about trauma, memory, survival, and what it means to have your story heard.

Too Many Birds Jul 22, 2025

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.

Curse of the Murderer's Tooth Feb 25, 2025

“I did have a murderer’s fingers in my mouth a couple times.” That’s how this week’s caller kicks things off, setting the tone for an episode filled with random and often darkly hilarious stories. He and Gethard play a morbid round of Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon, share their mutual appreciation for one of Jersey youths’ greatest and most time-honored traditions, and dive into tales of a frugal exhibitionist and a road trip that nearly ended in disaster.

This Is Life. You Get One Chance to Live It. Feb 04, 2025

A skydiver who swears she’s not an adrenaline junkie calls to talk with Gethard about the joys of plummeting to earth from 13,000 feet. She’s got 500 jumps under her belt, and only one of them has ended in two broken feet. She shares an action-movie-worthy story that is possibly the most harrowing tale we’ve ever heard on the show. Fair warning, this one’s intense. But it’s also fun and–if you’re looking for an excuse to do something that scares you–inspiring, too.

Sexting in Korean Dec 03, 2024

Grandma's Turn Sep 10, 2024

Last month, Gethard talked with a guy whose wife was in labor. Last week, Gethard talked to that wife, now a new mom to a squishy squid. This week, Gethard talks to that squishy squid’s grandmother. It’s a frank and vulnerable conversation about generational trauma, cycles of abuse, and working hard to build a better life for your family. And of course we get to hear about the joy that comes with being a new grandparent. It’s a beautiful call, and kind of a miracle that it happened at all.

The Squishy Squid Sep 03, 2024

Six weeks ago, Gethard talked to a guy who was calling from the hospital while he waited for his wife to give birth to their first child. This week, by some act of fate, she got through herself. Our caller catches Geth up on life as a new mom, and then the two have a real and raw conversation about mental health. She opens up about her experiences with bipolar disorder, the importance of understanding and advocating for mental health, and how she plans to handle conversations about mental health with her own child.

Beautiful Follow Ups: Love Is Everywhere (Bonus Episode) Aug 16, 2024

As longtime listeners of Beautiful/Anonymous know, one of the most beloved members of our community is Heidi, AKA: “Love Is Everywhere”. 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. You can also read Heidi’s story on her Substack.

Countdown to Parenthood Jul 30, 2024

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.

Grandpa Murdered Grandma Jul 16, 2024

It’s the kind of story a true crime podcast could easily spend an entire season on. But we only get one hour with this week’s caller. And what a compelling hour it is.

Raising the Roof (Skoolie Life) May 14, 2024

This week's caller is finally going to embrace her tiny home dreams. That is, if her husband can stop jumping off roofs long enough for them to finish the bus renovation they started three years ago. This one starts out easy enough. How does one become involved in skoolie life? What makes someone want to live in a school bus in the first place? What's all this drama about raising the bus roof? But things take a turn when Gethard and our caller start to unpack some of the more serious motivations for wanting to live a bit more off the grid. Then, something happens that has only ever happened once before in the history of Beautiful Anonymous. You can probably guess what it is, but you'll have to listen to find out for sure.

An Episode for Dave Matthews Mar 26, 2024

A dedicated Dave Matthews Band fan tells Gethard how her love for DMB led her to donate a kidney to a total stranger. She explains some of the more complicated aspects of the process and how donating her kidney set off a chain reaction that saved a total of 10 lives. Plus, she and Geth talk about cool party tricks, pretentious tattoos, and a whole lot more. The important thing though, is that if you're reading this right now and you know Dave Matthews, you send him this episode.

This week’s caller is an artist and a mother who called in to talk about the gifts and challenges of both of those aspects of her identity.
