PostSecret creator Frank Warren brings the comedy and confessions to Syracuse University.
Frank Warren has a ton of secrets.
No, really. Warren stores in Tupperware bins every single PostSecret message ever mailed to him. And yes, he estimates that all the secrets — more than half a million in five years — literally weigh at least a ton.
In 2005, Warren started PostSecret, a continuous art project where people anonymously mail secrets to his home in Germantown, Md. They range in topic, from loneliness and suicide to love and jokes. He posts new secrets online each Sunday.
The creator of PostSecret, Frank Warren, talks with The NewsHouse about why people trust him so much, his work with suicide prevention and his all-time favorite secret.
Since Frank Warren founded PostSecret.com on Jan. 1, 2005, he has received hundreds of thousands of postcards from complete strangers all over the world bearing their deepest secrets, never before spoken to another human being.
