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.

Touching stories

All the Feels
The Moth has been a favorite podcast and NPR show of mine for many many years. Living on my own during the pandemic, I would listen to it when I needed a sense of human connection because their stories always touch my heart.
My dad LOVES this podcast
I’ve introduced my 96 year old dad to the world of podcasts and this by far his favorite. (I love it too)
We sit and listen together, it reminds him of his youth sitting around the radio with family.
The format is wonderful for him, holds his interest, and brings many nods, smiles, and laughs.
