  • 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.

Always a delight!

Whenever I catch an episode of The Moth on the radio, I feel like I’ve won the lottery. I was thrilled to find the podcast and be able to control when and where I get to listen!

Commodore FitzHigham is my new hero

Story telling in this episode could not be better. Resoundingly humorous, delightfully British. One heck of a tale about the absurdities we attach to cockameme schemes, uniting us all. The universal disdain for the French.

Great stories

The 1st story was by far the best. I feel the most alive by listening to it.
