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.

The Moth Podcast!
It is good. Interesting. Talks are neither too long nor short. Nice one.
Unique
I enjoy listening to people story telling about memorable occasions in their life. The stories are fascinating, funny and tear wrenching! Great stories to share with family and friends over a chat.
Top notch stuff
Amazingly well curated collection of stories, all of which offers amazing insights into the minds and hearts of people. Some make you grin to yourself like a idiot in the subway, some make you pretty close to tears but none of them ever disappoint.
