Beautiful Stories From Anonymous People

i've been listening to this here and there since the first episode. I feel like it used to be a lot more interesting. I find now the calls mostly have the same flavor, whatever the story is- someone who has a list of stories they wanna tell that they think are exciting or they wanna talk about their dramatic / traumatic life. They mostly sound all the same and as an empathetic person I don't want hear a one hour trauma program (well really about 25 minutes after the ads). Listening to people lay out their trauma is not healthy for my nervous system. I miss the old episodes. No agenda, no therapy session, just two people connecting.

I understand there’s ads and what not at the very beginning but if I am six minutes into the episode and we have not gotten to the topic at hand it is beyond annoying. Could not keep my attention.

Have you ever been somewhere where you can hear one end of a phone call and all you want to do is eavesdrop? Then this is the podcast for you!! You get to listen to BOTH ends of the phone call! People call in and get to talking; Chris is an empathetic host who is genuinely interested in each caller’s stories and ideas. Don’t get me wrong, he politely provides pushback when he disagrees with a caller’s perspective or has questions for someone. Give it a listen, you won’t be disappointed…and if you want to choose the title that peaks your interest, go for it!

I direct messaged you on instagram about how glad I am that you are still doing this podcast, and to tell you that I’m proud to claim you as a fellow human being that exists in the world. Then I saw the last time I messaged you on ig back in December of 2016. It was right after I had just lost cell service after getting through to Jared after responding to a Beautiful Anonymous IG post. Would have been insane to make it onto the show then. What an amazing time capsule that would have been! Immediately after Donald trump had been elected (I was crushed) and two months before I married my wife. One month after I had just completed a 6 day 200+ mile ultramarathon in the desert. My bachelor party was the very next weekend. Came here to make sure I had rated and reviewed your podcast. I’ve been listening to you since the beginning.
