The Moth
Summary: On Tuesday's and Friday’s The Moth’s podcast feed presents episodes of the Peabody-Award Winning Moth Radio Hour and original episodes of The Moth Podcast. 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.

But this year for our 10th anniversary of the podcast, we look ahead to the future with never-heard stories from some our newest additions to The Moth staff.

A Catholic school student is singled out by an unexpected person, a teacher is overcome on a day of celebration, and a radio-host is at the center of a debate of identity. Storytellers: Shana Creaney, Dennis Oulahan, and Carol Daniel. This episode was hosted by Lauren Gonzalez, Jodi Powell, and Chloe Salmon. Jenelle Pfifer also helped direct Carol Daniel’s story in this episode.
