EP. 122 — Northern Ireland

Northern Ireland: come for the apple orchards and beautiful cathedrals, not the disaster tourism. Born to a Catholic mother and Protestant father, this week’s caller attended a segregated school where they had more bomb scare days than snow days. She and Geth play a game called “How long can a person from the island of Ireland tell a happy story before a sad detail comes up?”

[00:01:17] CHRIS: Hello to everybody who loves a good shower power hour. It’s Beautiful Anonymous; one hour, one phone call, no names, no holds barred. [01:31] [THEME MUSIC]: I’d rather go one on one, I think it’ll be more fun. And I’ll get to know you and you’ll get to know me. [00:01:42] CHRIS: Hello, everybody, welcome to another episode of Beautiful Anonymous. A show where I send out a random phone number and then a whole bunch of people try to talk and we talk. And we listen and we connect in a world that is feeling more scary by the day, we connect and we lean into things like empathy and connecting with other humans on a human level. And just hearing each other out and being willing to just go there, get vulnerable and not be ashamed or scared of vulnerability for once. This show might be saving my life week to week. Thank you for letting me do it. Thanks for letting me have this gig. Want to put out there that we have some touring dates com
