highly recommended
An outstanding hour of beautifully produced first-person narratives. All six hour-length shows in this CBC Outfront series are excellent and are a perfect follow-up for The Moth Radio Hour. We've had tremendous response to Outfront from our listeners. Here's hoping prx.org or someone packages more of these stories very soon --- a perfect way to to keep the story flame alive while we wait for more from The Moth!
