13:06PostSecret.com

It began as an interactive art project: 3,000 self-addressed blank postcards, distributed to strangers, in the hope they'd share their secrets. PostSecret surprised even its creator, becoming a sold-out art exhibit, a best-selling book and a seamless integration of the Internet and the mailbox. Artist Frank Warren joins Kojo to discuss how art and anonymity combined to yield fascinating insights into human behavior.

Guests

Frank Warren, Curator of PostSecret.com; and editor of "PostSecret: Extraordinary Confessions from Ordinary Lives" (Regan Books)
