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
Thank you
This podcast has and continues to get me through some hard times. It gives me hope in a seemingly more and more disconnected world. I hope it continues for many years and soon I will go see a live show 🤞🏽💜
Roe vs Wade
I have enjoyed the stories and podcast in general until recently where the podcast is being used as a one sided political tool.
I would love it if the Moth would give a voice to all sides.
Personal responsibility and “choice” is usually at the point of conception. I do believe there should be exceptions for a few limited reasons.
Remember, you can judge the character of a person by what they do for those can do nothing for them.
Hands down one of my favorite podcasts.
Moth stories have made me laugh, cry and at times left me deeply moved. The courage to stand on stage in front of an audience and tell your truth is mighty.
