Chris Gethard

Beautiful Stories From Anonymous People

This week's caller is in the middle of a major life pivot, leaving a successful career as a college athletic trainer to become a Montana game warden. He and Gethard talk about the pressure to chase achievement for the wrong reasons and what it means to realize you built a life you never actually chose. They also get into the ethics of hunting, some wild ride-along stories, and we get an update on the caller's dad, our friend the timber faller from episode 355.

What It's Like When Your Partner Dies

A grassroots journalist calling in mid-haircut connects with Gethard over a shared love for community media. Together, they break down why public access matters now more than ever: how local TV and community-powered news can connect neighbors, build trust where traditional media has fallen short and, most importantly, help people tell their own stories. They swap favorite public access oddities (including a cat-costume cuddle show) and Geth shares how his own public access days somehow ended up tied to a Supreme Court case.

Public Access Forever

This week's caller has dedicated her life to understanding hoarding disorder. Years ago, she married someone whose relationship with collecting changed the course of her own life. Now she's on a mission to educate others and replace stigma with compassion. She and Gethard get into what hoarding really looks like, the reasons people find it hard to let go, and how shows like Hoarders have turned personal struggle into public spectacle.

Hoarding Disorder Expert

A caller checks in from a Costco parking lot to mark one year sober after 25 years of blackout drinking.

He and Geth get into punk shows, lost friends, and how addiction doesn't always look the way people think it does.

Quit Opiates, Alcohol, and Cats

Here we are. Episode 500. We celebrated the only way that makes sense. With a few hundred listeners packed into a theater in Jersey and a caller whose story pretty much sums up what this show is all about.
 
Our 500th caller is one year out from a stay in a mental hospital. She opens up about what it was like to lose her grip on reality in a pretty intense way and shares how far she's come with self-awareness, perspective, and so much humor. She and Gethard also get deep into some classic Jersey debates with our audience (porkroll vs Taylor ham? Does Central Jersey exist?), who share some of their best roadside emergency rest stop stories and try to convince our caller to divulge her government secrets
 
Five hundred episodes. Wild. Thanks to everyone who's listened, called, and shared a piece of themselves with this show. Here's to the next 500.

Episode 500! Live This Friday at Smodcastle Cinemas!

Gethard talks with a caller who shares her story of adopting a young girl and what happened when, after a year, that child chose to return to her foster family. It's an honest conversation about one person's experience with adoption, the unpredictability of parenthood, and finding a way forward when something you've hoped for doesn't turn out the way you imagined.
