麻豆约拍

A look at live storytelling, with Catherine Burns and Meg Bowles of The Moth.

The Moth Radio Hour is a weekly series which launched in 2009. It features true stories told live on stage without scripts, notes, props, or accompaniment.

Some of the storytellers that step up to the mic are writers by trade. But many aren鈥檛 and Catherine and Meg are practised in the art of helping bring these voices and stories to a wider audience.

The pair share insights into the art of telling a good story well, with some highlights from The Moth archives performed by David Montgomery, Hasan Manhaj and Dawn Ross.

We also head backstage, at the Moth鈥檚 latest event in London, to meet the poet and journalist Bridget Minamore, one of the storytellers brave enough to take to the stage and deliver a tale.

Made for 麻豆约拍 Radio 4 Extra and first broadcast in March 2019.
