About The Moth: For 20 years we’ve been collecting and sharing stories. Now we’re taking a moment to pause and look back, from a whiskey-fueled dream in Georgia to the storytelling movement of today.
We honor and celebrate the diversity and commonality of human experience, with 25,000 stories to date, shared live and without notes.
