The Moth


Sometimes laugh-out-loud funny, sometimes sad, always thought-provoking. "The stories are true stories told from the storytellers' lives and must be told live, without notes."
http://www.themoth.org/ has featured hundreds of people from all walks of life. Firefighters, sleepwalkers, voodoo priestesses, philosophers, "everyday people," and famous names like Malcolm Gladwell, Erica Jong and John Turturro.
Podcasts are available at iTunes, with new stories uploaded weekly. There are Story Slams, the Main Stage and the Annual Moth Ball, all designed to help us remember just how extraordinary the ordinary can really be.
