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!

This is Gold!

This is the best podcast ever! I listen when I’m getting ready for work, while I’m cleaning & anxious. Such a soothing way to disconnect and enjoy life experiences through other’s stories. So thankful it’s available

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.

My Heart Is Lifted and Broken (kgb)

Strength and humor.
To stand against hate with love.
To live a century and taste freedom.
...but see the war will never end.
