"The Moth is New York's hottest and hippest literary ticket"- The Wall Street Journal

"The Moth has taken something that is so simple and primal and fundamentally human -- all kinds of people standing up and telling stories from their lives -- and turned it into a thrilling, revelatory, moving and entertaining grass-roots art form. I love these tales, and I love the spirit and community of the Moth. What perfect public radio content." -Kurt Andersen, Studio 360
