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.

Customer Reviews
The moth
Great podcast, amazing stories. Strongly recommended
Depressing monologues
A stage for venting personal problems and impossible inspirational monologues scattered with dysfunctional bleeding hearts.
Akin to a never ending Lassi series of shaggy dog stories
Gun story
The latest episode of The Moth was definitely one of my favourites. Hearing the poor man who accidentally shot his friend at 14 was outstanding. As an Australian where guns are banned this story makes me think how lucky that accidental shootings are few and far between. If only America had the same laws so that tragedies like these are few and far between. That poor man having to deal with it over a whole lifetime. I’m so happy to hear that he wasn’t charged and got through such an ordeal with courage.
