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 Sarah Austin.

In this episode, three stories from Innova, people who defy convention.
The status quo is just kind of boring.
Sometimes life is more fun and, dare I say, more fulfilling if you invent and then reinvent the future.
So today, stories of drones, Ducati, motorcycles and dowry return ceremonies, all in the name of forward thinking.
Our first storyteller, Ian Kerr, told this at a Moth main stage in Portsmouth, New Hampshire.
Here's Ian.
So I'm a whale biologist.
Sounds cool, right?
Well, actually, not too bad.
But whales are really hard to study.
If you're studying a rhino on the Serengeti, your Land Rover can't sink beneath the sand, you don't get seasick, and when you approach the rhino, it doesn't dive beneath the Serengeti and reappear five miles away.
