Since its launch in 1997, The Moth has presented thousands of true stories, told live and without notes, to standing-room-only crowds worldwide. Moth storytellers stand alone, under a spotlight, with only a microphone and a roomful of strangers. The storyteller and the audience embark on a high-wire act of shared experience which is both terrifying and exhilarating. Since 2008, The Moth podcast has featured many of our favorite stories told live on Moth stages around the country. For information on all of our programs and live events, visit themoth.org.

Perfect for my Daily commute
.. To work, if you like comedy :)
don’t think it’s comedy
i liked the stories people tell. some of them are inspiring. i don’t understand, however, why it is listed under comedy.
some stories are funny, but it is definitely not a comedy podcast
Makes my days
The Moth stories are extremely well told and almost everyone of them makes me smile, think, or whatever feeling they approach. They offer interesting and extraordinary perspectives on live. Would like my way to work without them.
