Check out part two of our interview with Frank Warren, the creator of Postsecret.com below. Frank came by our offices and spilled his secrets on creating the site… we chewed his ear off and he was a great sport about it! Here’s the transcript for some of the stuff that didn’t make it into our show…

HotNewz: What’s the strangest or most disturbing secret you’ve seen?
Frank: It was a postcard that had six hair samples taped to the face of the card and the person wrote their secret on the card, they wrote, “when I babysit I wait until the child falls asleep and then snip a little piece of hair off of their head and keep it.” So it’s kind of odd but at the same time I think if you’re a parent you want to know about secrets like that!

HotNewz: Did you ever think the site would be this popular?
Frank: I have been amazed at the way its resonated with people not only in America but around the world…I can receive 2 stacks of postcards…in one day and within those stacks there will be two cards from two different continents and two different languages expressing the same hope or the same fear or the same desire. And really just driving home the idea that beneath the surface we’re all so similar.

HotNewz: Do you post your own secrets?
Frank: It’s true. There’s one of my secrets in every book.

We tried to get Frank to tell us which secrets were his, turns out the man who’s made a career of sharing secrets is pretty tight lipped about his own!
