Explore interviews, storytelling tips, playlists and other Mothy fun curated by our staff and community.
Last Spring, during my Sophomore year of high school, I participated in The Moth Education Program’s virtual All Country youth storytelling workshop (now called ‘Moth Story Lab)’. The biannual program is open to 10th-12th graders across America each year, and provides young people with the chance to learn and practice the art of storytelling.
Scientists have calculated that July was globally the hottest on record, breathing new life into the term dog days of summer. We hope that this week’s playlist about summer memories will bring some relief, like a little storytelling cool breeze.
As the LGBTQI+ community continues to be under attack in our country and around the world, it feels more urgent than ever to highlight their humanity and their stories. Stories help us feel seen, help us connect to one another, and start a path to empathy and compassion. This week’s playlist is a celebration of Pride Month.
The business of taking care —the loving, nurturing, advising, supporting, and just being there — is fathering at its best. This playlist raises a glass to the fathers, grandfathers, stepfathers, uncles, and other men, who despite the various complications and complexities of helping to raise a human, step in and step up in their own ways.
This month’s Storytelling School post was written by guest author and Education Program Intern, Marlo Brown! Marlo first joined The Moth through our All Country program in the Spring of 2022. After graduating from high school this month, Marlo is headed to New Haven University to study Communication Arts in the fall.
