  • 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 Amy Mullins, athlete, actor, moth storyteller, and your host for this episode.

  • This summer in Paris, thousands of athletes will be running, swimming, swimming, throwing javelins and surfing, skateboarding.

  • And for the first time in Olympic history, breakdancing, or as the games call it, breaking.

  • They'll be competing against their fellow Olympians and Paralympians, trying to win gold.

  • Yes, but more than that, they'll test themselves.

  • They'll represent their countries, they'll make their loved ones proud, and they'll give it everything they've got on the world's biggest stage.

  • And to celebrate this collective four weeks of momentous daring, on this episode of the Moth, we're sharing three stories, either about the games themselves or the feelings they inspire in us and the memories they create.

  • These games certainly mean a lot to me.

  • I had the honor of being named chef de mission or chief of the mission, the de facto leader of Team USA for the London 2012 Games.
