You're listening to Radiotopia Presents from PRX's Radiotopia.

We all have them. Secrets. Small little precious boxes of memories of something that can't be shared,

because then it would cease to exist as a secret and turn into something else.

This is a show about those secrets.

But even those secrets are by nature not something to be shared, there are of course facts about secrets,

facts that will be good for you to have before we start.

For example, studies show that you have 13 secrets inside of you.

Five of them are secrets that you never shared with anyone.

You don't keep secrets.

You have them.

According to the same studies, the thing that we keep a secret the most

is the fact that we want to fuck someone else than the person that we usually fuck,

for instance, a husband or a wife or a boyfriend, a girlfriend or partner.

Now even that thought might be a break of trust, but it's also what makes us human.

I have experienced things and events that have turned into secrets, and so have you.

Experiences that spawned out of primal instincts like lust or shame or anger.

The only one who will ever hear everything is your own inner voice speaking to you, asking you,

what have you done?

I can't say why I did it the first time.

In six episodes, we're going to open these secret boxes and enter another world.

One lie become a second lie, and the third lie is coming just to camouflage the two other lies.

I really genuinely enjoyed the art of... coming just to camouflage the two other lies.
