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.

Real Life is Better than Fiction
This is one of my top 3 podcasts. I sometimes listen twice!! I love hearing of our shared humanity. I just sent “The Kindness of Strangers” to a sister-friend. This episode challenged me to collect memories of the kindness of strangers in my life. A great Touchstone.
Thank you for creating and posting this life affirming Podcast. 🥰
Love this show!
Always absorbing and thought provoking. One of my favorite podcasts!
