Andrew: Today, we are gonna do a Chatterbox episode all about secrets.

Maura: Sh. Don’t tell.

Andrew: Can you keep a secret, Maura?

Maura: Just kidding. This episode isn’t a secret. But you’re right. We’re gonna do a whole episode about secrets. First we’re gonna talk about keeping secrets, and then we’re gonna talk about what should be kept a secret, what should be kept private, and what should be kept public.

Andrew: Yeah. And this is a very interesting and entertaining topic to talk about, I think.

Maura: Mmhmm. Maybe some of our own secrets will come out.

Andrew: Yeah. Stay tuned.

Maura: OK. So, let’s start with keeping secrets. First, I would like to know,

Maura: That’s true. Because by chance, maybe a month passes, or two, and maybe you forget it’s a secret or you say something that discloses that you know some secret information, and you could get yourself in trouble, maybe.

Andrew: Right. You can totally get yourself in trouble. And you didn’t ask for that. Somebody just told you something and, yeah, it’s stressful.

Maura: You know, it’s funny, because I think I, on the other hand, enjoy keeping secrets.

Andrew: Yeah? You like knowing the information? Yeah?

Maura: Yeah. I think that, first of all, I will say that I think I’m good at keeping secrets. If someone says don’t tell anyone, I don’t tell anyone. It’s easy enough. But I think that I’m happy that that person trusts me enough and considers
