Prison Bound Week: Day 1 - The First Call

from Beautiful Stories From Anonymous People Hosted by Chris Gethard

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. Sign up for Beautiful/Anonymous+ to get ad free episodes and access to exclusive audio including 5 Random Questions with this week's caller.
