Hey people. So, The Moth: Live storytelling by every day people in front of packed audiences. Some of the most interesting true stories I’ve ever heard are collected on their website. Listen to some here.

And now they have a podcast. (Link goes to the iTunes store)

Some highly recommended stories that I’ve listened to on their podcast:

- Ed Gavagan: Victims Impact — A man tells the story of how he was randomly marked for murder by five gang members as part of their initiation; nearly stabbed to death but survived, only to go through so much more.

- Paul Bacon: Bad Cop — A cop tries to catch a few Zs, accidentally locks himself in the back of his own squad car. OPPSS

- Ted Conover: Sing Sing Tattoo — A corrections officer tries to decipher the poem tattooed on the back of an inmate. Its origin is surprising.

Many more await you. All true, all wise and interesting, and all for free! FREE!! What a country!

I also know a place where you can get bacon for free. It’s called heaven, and you have to die first. But you can listen to The Moth Podcast right now! What a plane of existence!
