WADE FEATURED ON MOTH PODCAST!!!
BIG NEWS!!!
My 2006 GrandSlam winning story at The Moth is now featured on its popular podcast!
I'm extremely proud to be on the podcast. Â
Here's all the important info:
The Moth, a not-for-profit storytelling organization, was founded in New York in 1997 by poet and novelist George Dawes Green, who wanted to recreate in New York the feeling of sultry summer evenings on his native St. Simon's Island, Georgia, where he and a small circle of friends would gather to spin spellbinding tales on his friend Wanda's porch. After moving to New York, George missed the sense of connection he had felt sharing stories with his friends back home, and he decided to invite a few friends over to his New York apartment to tell and hear stories. Thus the first "Moth" evening took place in his living room. Word of these captivating story nights quickly spread, and The Moth moved to bigger venues in New York. Today, The Moth conducts six ongoing programs and has brought more than 3,000 live stories to over 100,000 audience members.
WHAT IS THE MOTH PODCAST
As a subscriber to the Moth Podcast you will receive one free Moth story per week to listen to at your leisure on your iPod/MP3 player or your computer. These are some of our favorites among the thousands of stories we have recorded at our Moth Mainstage shows, Moth StorySLAMs and MothShop Community shows over the last 10 years. You will also have access to a limited backlog of previous episodes.
The stories range in length from approximately 5 to 17 minutes. Sometimes funny, occasionally sad, often poignant, we hope you will find the stories memorable and representative of many aspects of human experience. Because the stories are culled from many years worth of archives, the sound quality varies.
