Hey there.
We here at the Moth have an exciting opportunity for high school sophomores, juniors, and seniors who love to tell stories.
Join the Moth story lab this fall.
Whether for an aspiring writer, a budding filmmaker, or simply someone who loves to spin a good yarn, this workshop is a chance to refine the craft of storytelling, from brainstorming to that final mic drop moment.
Weve got students covered.
Plus, theyll make new friends, build skills that shine in school and beyond, and have a blast along the way.
These workshops are free and held in person in New York City or virtually anywhere in the US.
Space is limited.
We've extended to one more week, so be sure to apply by September 29.
Welcome to the Moth podcast.
I'm Michelle Jalowski, your host for this episode.
If you've only ever listened to the podcast or radio hour, you might not know that most of our shows feature a live musician.
An instrumentalist opens each act and then stays on stage throughout the show, acting as a sort of timekeeper, letting the storyteller and the audience know when the teller is over their time limit were all about storytelling here at the moth, and music tells its own sort of story.
Our musicians help set the tone for our curated live shows, and weve been lucky to work with some incredible musicians over the years.
On this episode, well be celebrating how instrumental instruments are at the moth with two stories about learning how to play.
Plus, stick around.
We just might be sharing some music from a live moth show.
First up, we've got Alastair Bane.
He told this at a Denver story slam where the theme of the night was pride.
Here's Alastair live at the moth.
