Beyond the Stage with Tonya Scott Williams
A few months ago, we put out a call to listeners to host their own episode of The Moth podcast for its 10th anniversary. Today we're thrilled to pass the mic over to listener Tonya Scott Williams. In this episode, Tonya chooses three of her favorite stories to share.
A successful businessman reveals his childhood dream. An expecting couple rush through an unexpected trip into the night. An online connection leads to a real-world rekindling.
We'll also hear from two other listeners who wrote in that we loved. A special thanks to Larrnell Cross and Brennen Beckwith.

From time to time, The Moth Education Program travels outside of New York City to offer a one-day professional development workshop for 5th -12th grade teachers. This workshop offers teachers the tools and space to develop their own story and then an opportunity to reflect on how to bring their stories and their newly acquired skills back to their classroom. To date, we have offered this workshop in Detroit, Michigan and New Orleans, Louisiana.
