This autumn fall for moth stories.
As we travel across the globe for our main stages, we're excited to announce our fall lineup of storytelling shows from New York City to Iowa City, London, Nairobi, and so many more, the moth will be performing in a city near you.
Featuring a curation of true stories, the moth mainstage shows feature five tellers who share beautiful, unbelievable, hilarious, and often powerful true stories on a common theme.
Each one told reveals something new about our shared connection.
To buy your tickets or find out more about our calendar, visit themoth.org mainstage.
We hope to see you soon.
From PRX, this is the moth radio hour.
I'm your host, Jody Powell.
I grew up with a mother, a sister, and a grandmother who were always, always on time.
My grandmother especially, she showed up dressed to the nines and early also.
She would say to me, life will make sense in good time.
I, on the other hand, respect time, but let's just say the respect is not mutual.
I'm always trying to balance my time correctly or just plainly make sense of it.
In this hour, stories of how time can change the way we understand life.
Our first story comes from Otis Gray.
Otis told this at our New Orleans slam at Cafe Istanbul, where we partner with WWNO.
Here's Otis.
In the summer of 2018, after seven years of an incredible relationship, my girlfriend and I were at a crossroads with our differences.
And a big one of those was kids.
Grace never wanted kids.
