The Moth Podcast: Joy and Pain

A few days ago, we aired an episode of the Moth Radio Hour called “Human + Nature” - where we shared some stories about humans, nature, and human nature. But, for this podcast, we’re taking a different look at that topic, as we explore the dark side of two of life’s most natural joys – sex and laughter. This episode is hosted by Kate Tellers.

Storytellers:

Becky Feldman hires an escort to help her rediscover her body.

Adrianne McGillis’ father's favorite joke lands him in the hospital.
