During this special edition of The Moth Radio Hour from PRX, you’ll hear three individuals share something very personal about themselves.

It’s an example of the intimacy you experience through public radio every day – whether it’s your favorite musician talking about his life on Fresh Air, a revealing interview on Morning Edition, or someone asking for relationship advice on Car Talk.

The personal connections you experience on (station) are made possible thanks to the financial support of listeners like you. So make a pledge right now, before this hour of The Moth gets underway.

In this hour of The Moth, you’ll hear three great stories. A New York City cop shows his sensitive side; Daryl DMC McDaniels finds salvation in another artist’s song; and man reveals how it really feels to fall in love with the wrong woman.

5:00 Pitch Break

As Daryl said, “everything happens for a reason”. The Moth Radio Hour came to be for a reason: to bring the art of storytelling from the front porch to the stage and to public radio.

The people who created The Moth knew that storytelling is the glue that brings people together. And The Moth Radio Hour is an example of the kind of programming that brings people together to support public radio.

This final story this hour will knock your socks off, as you hear what it’s like to almost be murdered – and then confront your assailants.”
