Perhaps the best podcast ever

There’s life before The Moth - and life after. I beyond love this podcast!

Artists

Somewhat woke but if you can get past that, there’s some real artists among the storytellers with positive and life affirming messages

Smukt

Sjove, rørende, glade, triste historier imellem hinanden. Nogle korte, nogle lange. Fælles for historierne er, at de er velfortalte og ofte sætter sig fast. Jeg sidder ofte tilbage med tårer i øjnene.
