WEBVTT - Family Secrets: Season 3 Trailer

0:00:04.680 --> 0:00:08.560
<v Speaker 1>Family Secrets. It turns out that just about everyone has them,

0:00:08.640 --> 0:00:12.160
<v Speaker 1>which accounts for the incredible outpouring of community and sharing

0:00:12.200 --> 0:00:14.880
<v Speaker 1>of these stories that's happening as a result of my

0:00:14.960 --> 0:00:19.520
<v Speaker 1>podcast Family Secrets. My name is Danny Shapiro, and I'm

0:00:19.520 --> 0:00:22.720
<v Speaker 1>a writer author of the instant near times best selling

0:00:22.760 --> 0:00:27.040
<v Speaker 1>memoir Inheritance, which I wrote after discovering a massive secret

0:00:27.080 --> 0:00:30.120
<v Speaker 1>that had been kept from me all my life. That

0:00:30.280 --> 0:00:33.640
<v Speaker 1>discovery changed my life in good ways and hard ways,

0:00:34.240 --> 0:00:38.160
<v Speaker 1>and led to this podcast. In each episode, I sit

0:00:38.240 --> 0:00:41.519
<v Speaker 1>down with an amazing guest and we delve into stories

0:00:41.520 --> 0:00:46.320
<v Speaker 1>that cover all sorts of things identity, addiction, loss, legacy,

0:00:46.880 --> 0:00:50.920
<v Speaker 1>and always the secret shame that runs beneath so much

0:00:50.960 --> 0:00:57.680
<v Speaker 1>that is hidden. Here's some of what I've learned in

0:00:57.720 --> 0:01:00.360
<v Speaker 1>the first two seasons of Family Secrets and what you

0:01:00.360 --> 0:01:04.880
<v Speaker 1>can expect from the third season. Sometimes families keep secrets

0:01:04.880 --> 0:01:07.800
<v Speaker 1>from each other in the name of love. We mean well,

0:01:08.120 --> 0:01:11.200
<v Speaker 1>we really do, but those secrets leave a trail of

0:01:11.240 --> 0:01:15.320
<v Speaker 1>confusion in their wake. When a secret is kept from us,

0:01:15.360 --> 0:01:18.520
<v Speaker 1>we often feel haunted, like there's something we don't know,

0:01:19.080 --> 0:01:21.759
<v Speaker 1>something we can't put our finger on, and this can

0:01:21.800 --> 0:01:25.200
<v Speaker 1>make us feel especially as children that there's something wrong

0:01:25.240 --> 0:01:29.640
<v Speaker 1>with us, and sometimes when we do discover a secret,

0:01:30.160 --> 0:01:33.080
<v Speaker 1>we end up in the uncomfortable role of becoming keepers

0:01:33.080 --> 0:01:47.960
<v Speaker 1>of secrets ourselves again in the name of love. In

0:01:48.040 --> 0:01:51.840
<v Speaker 1>Season three of Family Secrets, which launches on Thursday, February sixth,

0:01:52.440 --> 0:01:57.160
<v Speaker 1>you can expect some extraordinary, soulful, dramatic stories. I sit

0:01:57.160 --> 0:01:59.840
<v Speaker 1>down with Michael Haney, a brilliant journalist who spent his

0:02:00.080 --> 0:02:03.080
<v Speaker 1>life trying to piece together what happened the night his

0:02:03.160 --> 0:02:08.520
<v Speaker 1>father died. When I come into ownership of this secret,

0:02:08.760 --> 0:02:12.000
<v Speaker 1>my father's a secret, I basically froze, and for a

0:02:12.040 --> 0:02:15.040
<v Speaker 1>good year I just thought I can't write this story.

0:02:15.080 --> 0:02:16.640
<v Speaker 1>I can't share it. I don't know what I'm going

0:02:16.680 --> 0:02:20.079
<v Speaker 1>to do now. I talk with Lisa Jobs, daughter of Steve,

0:02:20.480 --> 0:02:23.720
<v Speaker 1>who spent years denying that she was his child. My

0:02:23.880 --> 0:02:27.639
<v Speaker 1>father actually wasn't a cold person, but it kind of

0:02:27.680 --> 0:02:30.120
<v Speaker 1>added up to that because he couldn't depend on the warmth.

0:02:30.120 --> 0:02:33.280
<v Speaker 1>It was so intermittent and unpredictable. He was passionate, he

0:02:33.400 --> 0:02:36.200
<v Speaker 1>was warm, and he was cold when he was in race.

0:02:36.720 --> 0:02:40.280
<v Speaker 1>I explore the power of forgiveness during an amazing conversation

0:02:40.320 --> 0:02:44.040
<v Speaker 1>with David Kazinski and Gary Wright, who was nearly killed

0:02:44.080 --> 0:02:47.600
<v Speaker 1>by one of the Unibomber's powerful male bombs. Gary was

0:02:47.720 --> 0:02:51.200
<v Speaker 1>Jed's victim. I was Jed's brother. If we could build

0:02:51.240 --> 0:02:55.560
<v Speaker 1>a bridge across this chasm it's abyss of human suffering,

0:02:55.919 --> 0:02:59.000
<v Speaker 1>then there was hope. I speak with Stephen Romo, a

0:02:59.120 --> 0:03:02.520
<v Speaker 1>Houston based news anchor who for a very long time

0:03:02.960 --> 0:03:06.880
<v Speaker 1>kept the dark truth about his childhood very deep beneath

0:03:06.919 --> 0:03:11.080
<v Speaker 1>a polished professional exterior. It did create dissonance for me

0:03:11.280 --> 0:03:13.520
<v Speaker 1>as I was growing up and moving on in my

0:03:13.600 --> 0:03:16.880
<v Speaker 1>career that my job was to seek out the truth.

0:03:17.560 --> 0:03:20.760
<v Speaker 1>I sort of just pretended to be the boy with

0:03:20.800 --> 0:03:23.760
<v Speaker 1>no history. I discuss what happens when the source of

0:03:23.760 --> 0:03:26.920
<v Speaker 1>your family's financial ruin is someone whose job it was

0:03:26.960 --> 0:03:30.760
<v Speaker 1>to protect you with Axton bets Hamilton, an expert on

0:03:30.919 --> 0:03:33.720
<v Speaker 1>identity theft. That's why I was doing the right thing

0:03:34.200 --> 0:03:39.520
<v Speaker 1>by not answering the door, by not developing friendships, by

0:03:39.840 --> 0:03:42.840
<v Speaker 1>just willing to be left alone, I thought I was

0:03:43.760 --> 0:03:48.040
<v Speaker 1>helping defend our families from the identity feet. I can't

0:03:48.080 --> 0:03:50.920
<v Speaker 1>wait for you to hear all of the incredible conversations

0:03:50.920 --> 0:03:54.200
<v Speaker 1>we'll be having this season, which kicks off February sixth.

0:03:54.960 --> 0:03:57.160

0:03:57.200 --> 0:04:01.280
