Frequently Asked Questions

Q:  Do you have an archive of past Moth performances that are available on iTunes? / Is there any way to purchase old podcasts? / I deleted a previous podcast and would like to re-download it.

Q:  I would like to follow to The Moth podcast, but am having issues subscribing through iTunes.

A:  Make sure that you aren’t already subscribed to The Moth podcast. If you are already subscribed, iTunes will block you from subscribing again.

Q: Why won’t The Moth podcast download onto my iPod?

A:  Podcasts do not always automatically sync to an iPod. In order to have your podcasts automatically sync to your iPod, you must adjust the settings in iTunes.

Connect the iPod and open iTunes. After connecting, you should see your iPod in the sidebar. Clicking it will bring up the iPod settings. Clicking on the Podcast tab will bring up your syncing options – you should be able to select which podcasts are automatically synced to your iPod, including The Moth. Once you have adjusted your settings, press save and then sync. The podcasts should start syncing to the iPod.

Q:  How do I listen to The Moth on an iPod Touch, iPhone, or other smart phone?

A:  You can download the Stitcher app for free from the iTunes App Store, the Blackberry App World, the Android Market, or the Palm App Catalog.  Once you’ve installed Stitcher, you can find the latest Moth podcast under Arts and Entertainment > Performance: Storytelling.  You can also add The Moth to your favorites by clicking the star!
