Shallow
It’s as if nearly everyone with a “secret” comes directly from central casting- the same world views, normative expectations and more often than not the same vocal fry and pattern of speaking. Like they all had the same cookie cutter lifestyle stamped indelibly on their personalities. The secrets revealed are seemingly soap opera sordid. Titillating events that small minded bullies love to use to keep score.The kind of things that nice church going middle class people would never do and definitely judge and shun those who did. More often than not the story ends with the person returning to their lives similar to how it was before- except they have this “secret” that they can hold onto as something that makes them “ special” as they continue on in conformity. The whole concept of “having a secret “ is based around shame, guilt and projection. While telling secrets about oneself is cathartic listening to the type secrets that routinely get people “cancelled” knowing that this person is “safe” while multiple others have their lives ruined for doing the same thing has this shallow flavor of ick.

Ben Hamm is such a great host. He ask the tough questions and listens to the answers with no judgment. I love this show.

Ok it’s not 2008 anymore but still my title is relevant. The WHOLE POINT of the show is that Ben doesn’t judge anyone who’s sharing their secret. If you have a problem with not being judgmental toward someone sharing a personal story, go listen to something else. But don’t give a low star review...Read full review »
