You have a pizza shop. You make really good pizza. You have a cult following that loves your pizza. Don’t try to satisfy people who want you to sell tires. Don’t feel bad that you don’t make tires. Your pizza loving fans don’t want tires. Keep up the good work… but keep making pizzas. I’ve been listening since day one, but I recently heard Chris’ comments about people who complain that the show isn’t something else. Even if you start to “sell tires,” those folks aren’t coming to get them. They just want to complain about something. Continue to satisfy your pizza customers by selling pizzas.

I hope good prevails today. Either way I hope we’ll all be okay

Was intrigued by the concept of a defined call (referring to having a specific theme for a call). But either the vetting or the conversation needed to be stricter, as the outcome I feel like probably didn’t have the impact wanted. I left the episode with a “yeah, sounds about right” feeling. Otherwise other episodes are great.

Chris’ podcast is a beautiful one, filled with humanity, encouragement, and humor, and packed with the authenticity that Chris brings. Please don’t platform hate in the name of addressing criticism. Not every show is for everyone, and if Chris’ politics aren’t for you, you’ll find plenty that are.

I’ve listened since this started. Unfortunately, I’m unsubscribing after this latest episode. I’m all for hearing diverse perspectives but draw the line at giving misinformation a platform. Chris, I’m incredibly disappointed that you let this caller speak to mistruths like “using late term abortions like birth control” which is a blatant lie not an “incredibly fascinating” perspective as you state. You are contributing to making abortions harder by not challenging the caller’s incorrect facts. You have a national platform and a responsibility to do better.

Listen every week…. Just saw your interview Sunday sit down with Willie Geist. Bravo!!!

If I leave a good review, I know it won’t make it stop. I know it was recorded in the past. But holy balls, Gethard, get on with it. We love you and we agree that those Brandon reviews were clearly antagonized by some dumb “converted to Catholicism because JD did” podcast. Let’s get the conversation started.

Great stories but would like to hear stories about ordinary people who took an extreme view about something in life and what drove them as well as individuals who were passionate about something and decided to change course.

I have been listening to BA for years and it is still my Tuesday treat! Chris Gethard is such a great human and reads the callers so well. Thank goodness we have this show which lets me still have hope that there are good people out there.

This has been my favorite podcast for years. I look forward to it every week. It’s a great way to relax. Thanks, Chris and team!

Thanks for checking in us listeners!

This show is thoughtful, funny, and engaging. I listen to it a lot when I’m not feeling well because it’s entertaining without requiring too much concentration. Highly recommend, especially for fans of storytelling podcasts!

He pushes his political ideas down your throat. Stop the leftist intros. For saying your are open and progressive, you alienate 50% of you audience. Just a white “women” echo chamber

This is such an amazing podcast. Its heartfelt, funny, thrilling and kind. Such a rare find. So much kindness and empathy and genuine appreciate for humanity. Sharing stories is the best way to connect and learn. Chris does such an amazing job bringing out the best in people and creating an open space for discussion. I could go on and on. Give it a listen it’s really a unique and heart felt listen!

I’ve been listening since day one. This show has been with me through deaths, births, breakups, breakdowns, and long runs. I appreciate the lives of all the callers and am so grateful for Chris bringing them into the world!

i enjoy about 97percent of the content on this podcast. I am a long time listener. I look forward to the Tuesday drop. The 3 percent of the calls i do not enjoy are not topics i really am into. The percentage of calls i do not listen to have decreased recently as the show returns to it original appeal. i like the calls that do not really have an agenda... keep up the good work "Geth" and team

This has been my favorite since the day it came out!

This is the best podcast for anyone to listen to two people share stories about their life and perspectives, from all over the world. From funny to heart warming, tragic to sad, travel to a day in the life of, politics and pop culture, this podcast is for everyone!

Humans connecting. Trying to be authentic. It's a tough thing to do, and they do try. Sometimes it's great, sometimes it's boring. I do like CG enough to listen. The caller's audio quality for today 9/9/24 is really bad. I couldn't listen to the show.

🤮🤮woke garbage

I have been listening since I saw you preform at the office reunion!!

Been listening to this show since the first episode aired on TAL. This is an absolute gem and I’ve proudly been sharing it with people ever since. Thanks to Chris and all others who work hard to bring it to everyone.

Great Podcast!

I’ve been listening since the beginning and this show never gets old. It keeps getting better. I look forward to it every single week! Highly recommend going to the live shows if you can.

Anonymous is a "thing". The host has blurbs and commercials that skip. So hosts and sponsors have remained anon. And still....

This show is a gem. Love hearing everything about random, normal people. It’s worth the listen.

Chris teaches humanity in every episode, one of my favorite podcasts!

Long time listener. Many very interesting topics covered. Often unexpected. Need to catch a inperson show at some point. LOVE IT.

I’ve been listening to Beautiful Anonymous for over five years now. A lot of podcasts these days are heavily produced, quickly edited with click-bait titles. There’s nothing wrong with them, but if you want a breath of fresh air, listen to Beautiful Anonymous. Being able to listen to unstaged & unproduced real human stories is quite a powerful thing. I would recommend this podcast to anyone in my life.

my favorite podcast of all time no cap

Chris’s interviews provide a beautiful view into the many facets of being human in today’s world.

I can’t believe I’m just barely finding this podcast! I came across it two weeks ago and am hooked! I can’t stop listening! Chris is so caring and compassionate and I love his dark humor as I am a little dark myself! Maybe one day I’ll call in. I have a few pretty unbelievable stories myself!

I’m getting tired of all the calls being pretty much the same. All liberals who talk bad about politics and Catholics, including Chris. They advocate for diversity but it’s truly all the same. I’m all for people have different opinions and beliefs. But can you stop being insensible and spreading misinformation when it comes to other people’s religion? I won’t be listening again.

The callers bring such a variety of human experience, feelings, thoughts, perspectives, situations. Chris makes it all happen as host, bringing thoughtfulness, humor, compassion and more to every conversation.

Beautiful insight of different lifestyles people have around the world. Raw honest conversations. Chris knows how to connect with his callers and make them feel comfortable. Love love love this podcast!!

I’ve been listening to the show since early on and still love listening! Ever since the move to independent, there’s been a bit of an decrease in audio quality on Chris. I’m a fellow audio engineer, so this is more directed at Andrea/whoever edits the shows now. IZotope RX De-Clip will do wonders for those few times Chris shouts at a caller and it distorts his channel! Love the show!

This podcast has kept me company for years - all through undergrad and grad school and into the real world. I got onto the pod last summer and it was such a cool experience. Give it a listen, give it a try. ✨

Chris Gethard is not only the sweetest, most aware human, he’s also an on-point interviewer. In an era of social disconnection and animosity, Chris is out here fighting the good fight of reminding us we all have way more in common than we have differences.

With all of the bad news and sadness in the world, this beautiful podcast brings us all together. You will laugh, cry, learn and empathize with the callers. I have been a listener for a few years now and it just gets better and better. Thank you Chris for creating such an important and impactful podcast. Rosalia

I have been a listener on and off since almost the beginning. This is the podcast I come to when I need a pick me up! Funny or inspiring or difficult, each episode is unique and lovely. Chris is down to earth and a masterful conversationalist. For some stretches of life I’ve listened weekly as episodes drop, and for some I’ve let the episodes pile up and binge them all at once down the road. This recent stretch of episodes have been amazing and I have been waiting for each new one to drop! B/A has been playing in the background through many life stages and events! Thank you!!

This is such a well done podcast and very entertaining. Chris is fantastic!

Honestly working from home, this podcast has made me so happy. I love hearing all the different stories, Chris is such an understanding human being it’s entertaining, it’s encouraging and I look forward to it each week as the highlight of my day!

Listen and you’ll know. This is such a great podcast.

Being able to listen to other people’s life stories and experiences is such a blessing. I laugh, cry, and contemplate life. This podcast is truly a beautiful experience.

Love hearing people’s stories each week. It truly is beautiful!

Beautiful anonymous is my go to podcast at work. Finished every episode in a few months. Can’t wait for new episodes on Tuesdays

It’s like candy for your inner child.

Chris Gethard is the BEST

I have been listening since Ron Paul’s Baby! This podcast never disappoints. I think I like it even more now that it’s gone independent. Love Chris, love this community, love the guests. Just wanted to drop some love!

Chris is one of the best people around. He is so real and relatable. He is non judgmental but also asks the right questions and isn’t afraid to share thoughts. Calls are fun to somewhat strange but it’s what keeps it interesting. Thank you for all you do to normalize mental health and for promoting therapy.
