Hello podcast listeners. This is Sarah Austin Janess from the moth.

we hope you enjoy this episode.

And if you've ever been curious about what it's like to be in the room

during one of our live shows, we're excited to announce that the moth is

returning to London to Union Chapel for a unique night of storytelling.

On Wednesday, April 3rd, join us for the Moth Main Stage,

where five storytellers from around the world

and a notable host share true personal stories on stage without notes.

No notes, no net.

Join us for this evening of surprising and memorable true stories.

You can buy tickets now at the moth.org

forward slash London. That's the moth dot org forward slash London. We hope to see

you there. Welcome to the Moth Podcast.

I'm Teak Malone, writer, journalist, leadership coach, moth storyteller, and your host

for this episode.

We're celebrating the launch of our brand new book, A Point of Beauty,

true stories of holding on and letting go. Now you're listening to the Moth podcast

so I know you love hearing the Moth, reading the moth, it's an entirely

different way to experience these true personal stories. Plus, it's much harder to

give a podcast as a last-minute gift for your partner's birthday or graduation.

Mother's Day, Father's Day is coming up, just saying.
