Speaker 1: two of Family Secrets such an amazing success. We've had
Speaker 1: over five million downloads since the podcast launched last February,
Speaker 1: which is such an indication of the hunger out there

Speaker 1: happens when we finally speak and understand the truth of
Speaker 1: ourselves and our lives. I'd like to thank my season
Speaker 1: two guests. John Melman, who talked with me about his
Speaker 1: wife's profoundly difficult diagnosis and their decision not to tell
Speaker 1: their children. Sasha Rothschild, who spoke about a lifetime of
Speaker 1: secret affairs her father revealed while in the throes of
Speaker 1: Alzheimer's Brigette M. Davis, whose beautiful mother was a numbers
Speaker 1: runner in Detroit. William Dameron, who kept his own sexuality
Speaker 1: hidden even from himself as he tried hard to be
Speaker 1: a straight family man. Frank Gold, who discovered that his
Speaker 1: father had been eating a dumble life. Noah Letterman, who
Speaker 1: spoke movingly about the legacy of his grandparents Holocaust Secrets,
Speaker 1: Ti Kira Madden, whose parents addiction was just the first
Speaker 1: layer in an entirely hidden world. Joanna Raykoff, for whom
Speaker 1: a tragic loss permeates her childhood home without being fully
Speaker 1: revealed until well into her adulthood. Adrian rodu whose mother
Speaker 1: made her her accomplice in a long term love affair.
Speaker 1: And k s A Lehman, whose childhood and adolescence were
Speaker 1: marked by three daily assaults American racism, his mother's physical
Speaker 1: and emotional abuse, and our cultural obsession with weight. If
Speaker 1: you haven't listened to all of the episodes in season two,
Speaker 1: you can download and binge listen to them all right now.
Speaker 1: We're already hard at work on season three of Family Secrets,
Speaker 1: which will launch in February. If you have a family
Speaker 1: secret you'd like to share, we're very interested in hearing
