Ten Years in the Making

Jun 9th, 2026 10:00 AM

This week's caller has been listening since the beginning and thinking about what she'd say when she finally got through. Ten years in, she tells Gethard about the life that's happened in the meantime: meeting her now-husband during a very heavy chapter for his family, spending a year on a sailboat, and the shape of her family today.

Avatar Stories from Anonymous Benders

May 26th, 2026 10:00 AM

For Gethard's birthday, we're doing something kinda stupid but also totally sincere: an entire episode about Avatar: The Last Airbender. After months of threatening to turn Beautiful/Anonymous into an Avatar podcast, Geth finally makes good on his word and talks to callers about bending, Zuko, Uncle Iroh, family bonding, and uh . . . a dog who isn't really a dog? Maybe? (Sorry, I still don't really know what the show is about - Andrea) and why this cartoon from 20 years ago still matters so much to so many people today. Happy birthday, Geth!
