Hey there, it's Nick.

Thanks for downloading my little podcast.

We are coming up to the grand finale of this season, which is coming at you in November.

But first I wanted to play our annual Secret Hotline episode, which at this time we've put

together in collaboration with sound artist Steven Vittielo.

As you can probably guess, this episode deals with a lot of adult themes, including those

of sexual abuse.

And I wanted to give you a heads up on one call in particular for those of you who are sensitive

to graphic descriptions of bodily harm.

You might want to skip the call that comes at about the 33 or 34 minute mark.

It starts with this.

Five years ago, I was a heroin addict doing some very unstable things to get by and support

my habit.

If you get freaked out by violent stuff, once you hear that, skip forward three minutes.

Of course, if you'd like to contribute something for a future secrets show, you can call

1-641-715-3900, then dial 55403 pound.

Thanks for listening.

I believe it's a secret, as I'm sure you can hear by the tone of my voice.

But I've actually never set this out loud before.

It's actually never even left my mind.

When I was a younger kid, I want to say you're on 7 or 8, maybe even a little bit younger

than that.
