The Moth Radio Hour
The 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. Individuals, without the comfort of fame, instrument, script or props engage in the world's oldest art form - stories that will make you laugh, cry, think. The Spring 2010 Season airs Sundays at 6 p.m. May 30 through June 27. Episode 1 Sunday May 30, at 6 p.m. A prisoner in a small town lock-up gets sprung on a promise; a man desperate for a cure for depression travels to Africa to try a tribal remedy; and novelist/screenwriter Richard Price ("Clockers," "Lush Life," "The Wire") gets a lesson in interrogation in the back of a NYC cop car. Hosted by The Moth's Founder, George Dawes Green. Episode 2 Sunday June 6, at 6 p.m. Geneticist Paul Nurse, a Nobel Laureate, learns the shocking truth about his origins; a nine-alarm blaze in Boston's Chinatown teaches a daughter about her father's wisdom; and a cop makes an erroneous ID on a stakeout. Hosted by The Moth's Artistic Director, Catherine Burns. Episode 3 Sunday June 13, at 6 p.m. A man in a mid-life crisis takes a terrifying parachute jump; an Iraq war veteran comes out of the closet; a daughter "pulls the plug" on her ailing father; a fireman tries to save two children; and a would-be Romeo laments the agony of platonic love. Hosted by The Moth's Senior Producer, Jenifer Hixson. Episode 4
