The Moth

From the hit podcast and radio show, a collection of soul-bearing stories from The Moth's archives.

A wedding toast hone horribly awry. A rapper's obsession with a Sarah McLachlan song. A death-defying stunt in a bullring. The fight to save Mother Teresa's life. These are the spellbinding tales from The Moth's storytellers.


Inspired by friends telling stories on a porch, The Moth was born in small-town Georgia, garnered a cult following in New York City, and then rose to national acclaim with the wildly popular podcast and Peabody Award-winning weekly public radio show The Moth Radio Hour.


A beloved read for Moth enthusiasts and all who savor well-told, hilarious, and heartbreaking stories.
