Joe Wix is on a mission. I want to make this and sell it. He's creating a protein bar. This is ultra-processing. That could potentially kill you. I want the maximum amount of each harmful ingredient while staying within the legal limit. So just how ridiculous the food system really is. Joe Wix, Licensed to Kill on Channel 4. Stream now.

From PRX, this is the Moth Radio Hour.

I'm your host, Chloe Salmon. In this episode,

Stories of Motherhood. Honestly, 1,000 episodes probably wouldn't be enough to cover the experience of mothering or being mothered. But zooming in on each of its glorious parts can be the

And what better way to honor than to listen?

So in this hour, you'll hear from four women who meet motherhood in their own unique ways.

First up is Maria Morris.

She told this story in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, where we partnered with Center for the Arts.

The first match I got was a fellow named Andy.

He was a widower.

He had a job as a software engineer.

So of course I pounced on him.
