Welcome to the Moth podcast.
I'm Michelle Jalowski, your host for this episode.
Lately, I've been thinking a lot about what we owe each other, what our responsibilities are as strangers, as friends, as family members, as fellow human beings.
What the balance is between looking out for yourself and taking care of everyone else.
I like to think that it's everyone's responsibility to give kindness and care, and that they're owed the same in return.
On this episode, we'll have two stories, along with a pitch from our pitch line about that very topic, giving and receiving kindness.
First up is Matthew Dix, who told this at one of our open mic story slams in Boston.
Here's Matthew live at the mall.
