Hello kids, this is Risk, the show where people tell true stories they never thought they

dared to share.

I'm Kevin Allyson and every Thursday we release these special episodes that were calling

classic risk singles, each of these episodes features just one story from the past.

If you're new to risk, you should know that the podcast can be very uncensored.

Now today's story is by one of our all-time favorite storytellers, Molina Williams-Haws.

Among other things, Molina has a story in the risk book you should definitely check out.

But what you're about to hear was recorded live at a risk show in 2014 and in the years

that followed, Molina went on to do something else, something truly extraordinary, with

more or less some of these same story incidents.

She worked with the truly genius avant-garde classical composer Georg Friedrich Haws, to whom

she's now married, on creating a music and spoken word piece called hyena.

And now this is a work of art on a whole other level.

You should definitely go to YouTube and search for hyena world premiere to see and hear

some of that version.

It's mesmerizing.

Anyway, without further ado, here's the version that Molina first shared with us in 2014

in a story we call animal.

Hi, my name is Molina.

I'm an alcoholic.

And none of you know what you say next.

Thank you.
