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.

This is so amazingly produced and developed with such empathic, intelligent and articulate people.
Time to sign off
I have been a Moth listener off and on for several years. After a extended period of not listening, I decided to give it another try in the hope that the preoccupation with left wing / ‘woke’ issues may have disappeared, or at least dissipated.
Sadly, that hasn’t been my experience, indeed it seems to have become worse. Transgender, moslem and other woke issues, are of no interest to me . . especially when accompanied ( as they so often seem to be ) with derision of anything vaguely Christian.
So, I’ve decided the time has come to devote my podcast listening time to something more up-lifting.
Thank you.
Love it!
I have not heard a story I didn't enjoy or get something to take away.
