The Moth Radio Hour

Airs: Saturday 7:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m. and Sunday 3:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m.

Host: various
Produced by: Catherine Burns and Jay Allison at Atlantic Public Media

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.

Originally formed by the writer George Dawes Green as an intimate gathering of friends on a porch in Georgia (where moths would flutter in through a hole in the screen), and then recreated in a New York City living room, The Moth quickly grew to produce immensely popular events at theaters and clubs around New York City and later around the country.

Today, The Moth is a nonprofit organization with ongoing programs, all of which contribute their best stories to The Moth Radio Hour: The Moth Mainstage where celebrities appear alongside unique voices from all walks of life; The Moth's StorySLAM competitions, which are open to all and rapidly expanding to cities across the country; and The Moth's community outreach program, MothShop, which brings workshops to people whose stories would otherwise go unheard.

The Moth Pitch Line invites people to pitch story ideas online or through a toll-free hotline. To learn more about The Moth, visit TheMoth.org.

The Moth Radio Hour is the winner of a 2010 Peabody Award, the highest honor in broadcasting. ''Storytelling, likely the oldest art, is revered and reinvigorated by this hour for everyday raconteurs,'' wrote the Peabody judges.
