This Is Life. You Get One Chance to Live It.

A skydiver who swears she’s not an adrenaline junkie calls to talk with Gethard about the joys of plummeting to earth from 13,000 feet. She’s got 500 jumps under her belt, and only one of them has ended in two broken feet. She shares an action-movie-worthy story that is possibly the most harrowing tale we’ve ever heard on the show. Fair warning, this one’s intense. But it’s also fun and–if you’re looking for an excuse to do something that scares you–inspiring, too.

Om Podcasten

1 phone call. 1 hour. No names. No holds barred. Thats the premise behind Beautiful Stories from Anonymous People, hosted by comedian Chris Gethard (the Chris Gethard Show, Broad City, This American Life, and one of Time Outs 10 best comedians of 2015). Every week, Chris opens the phone line to one anonymous caller, and he cant hang up first, no matter what. From shocking confessions and family secrets to philosophical discussions and shameless self-promotion, anything can and will happen! Theme song by Shellshag.
