Beautiful Stories From Anonymous People is one phone call. Chris Gethard answers, the caller stays nameless, and they talk until the hour runs out.

There is no guest booking and no second take. The show is whatever the person on the line is willing to say to a stranger who is funny and also willing to be quiet.

It became a portrait series by accident. Over the years the calls have held confessions, pranks, grief, and people who just wanted to hear a voice. Gethard’s skill is not steering them toward a brand of vulnerability.

You cannot pick the topic in advance. If the first five minutes are awkward, that is also the format.
