Welcome to the second hour of The Moth on (STATION). It’s a Moth Marathon – giving you the opportunity to enjoy a diverse mix of personal stories and an extra incentive to support (STATION) (PHONE & WEB)

I’m ______ with _____ asking you to support (STATION) today by becoming a member. Your financial support makes The Moth possible. Your contributions are essential to keep all the programming you love on (STATION) informing, entertaining and inspiring people throughout our region. (PHONE & WEB)

Script Notes:
He just wanted a little more time. It’s amazing how far people will go to chase a dream, even when it’s clear that things have gone horribly wrong. You could hear the desperation in Josh’s voice and picture the smoky gambling halls.
There is more Moth coming up. First, we’re taking a few moments to ask you to become a member of (STATION) and help pay for The Moth. (PHONE & WEB)

I’m ________ with __________
The Moth is true stories told live on stage with no notes – sometimes before hundreds of people. The stories can be raw and troubling. They can be funny or heartwarming. Every one is a drive way moment because you want to hear how the story turns out.
Because you know (STATION) brings you compelling stories and programming, we’re asking you to make a pledge of support. (phone & Web)
The next story is about second chances. When someone makes a mistake or hurts you, and you give them a second chance, you never know how it’s going to turn out. The next story is told by a man who gave someone a very generous second chance. (PHONE & WEB)

Make your pledge right now and enjoy the rest of The Moth Marathon on (STATION). (PHONE & WEB) When you do, let your pledge go viral! Let your friends on Facebook and Twitter know you support (STATION).
