Piece Description
Everyone loves a good story and some may want to tell one. That's the idea behind a New York-based non-profit called The Moth. The storytelling outfit attracts hundreds of people each week to story slams and shows throughout Manhattan. It is now branching out with the Moth Radio Hour. The idea for the Moth was hatched on the Georgia Coast. From Georgia Public Broadcasting, Susanna Capelouto reports.

Interesting
I've enjoyed some of the Moth broadcasts, but never knew about its origins. Considering I'm sitting on St. Simons Island, Georgia, as I type this, it was all the more interesting to know it happened here.
