Testing... One.. Two.. Is This Thing On?

Well here it is! My very first podcast! Enjoy! 

I have been following this project from almost the very beginning and it still fascinates me week after week of the secrets being read by now hundreds of thousands of people. These secrets sometimes stay with me for hours, weeks, and years, the pure raw human emotion behind them still intrigues me long after they have been read. Some try to say that they can't possibly be true, but I beg to differ, why can't they? They are unbelievable at times, but then again, what is the definition of a secret?

Secret: not open or public; kept private or not revealed; hidden: designed to elude detection

They are usually things that are never spoken, but kept in the hearts and minds of those who hide them for years, or lifetimes, and have only recently had a place to be exposed.

I think this would be an awesome project to mock in a school environment and give students a chance to share their secrets anonymously and have an outlet to open up to in a world that they maybe don't feel like they belong to. I think it is a huge connection point for students, staff, parents, and the community to be in such a raw and vulnerable state, and it really makes you take a step back and appreciate human life, and how each person deals with their own demons and angels, and that for some every day is a constant struggle or a blessing. I could see a million and one ways that a school could turn this into a negative experience, but then I think about the students it could give a usual non-existent voice a chance to be heard, it would be worth every moment.
