The Secret Room
Addiction
Remember that LiveJournal called PostSecrets in the 90s? It’s that for podcasts. This guy here is addicted to Bath Salts, and once he watched porn for 30 hours straight ‘cause of it. That’s not the end of it though.

Dial a Stranger
Life Savers
This podcast’s old so some audio is a bit fuzzy, but the hosts call a bunch of strangers and ask them all one question. On this episode: “Who Saved Your Life?”

Beautiful Stories from Anonymous People
Make Fruit Baskets Great Again
A Wilson personal favorite. Chris Gethard has a conversation with one stranger per episode. This one is with a Trump supporter. The caller gets a bit annoying and it’s a little Hillbilly Elegy-esque, but it’s definitely worth a listen. My cold black rational heart at least understood a little bit more. You’ll also appreciate this man’s patience.

Just Phoning It In
Selected by:

Tapping phone conversations is illegal, but we made a legal playlist of this. Listen in on intimate phone calls between the host(s) and stranger(s) without feeling bad about it! The charm of these episodes is how real and vulnerable strangers can be towards each other, and that kind of interaction is life-affirming, especially when everything around us isn't.
