This is a special edition of The Moth Radio Hour edited by Franny Bastian for PRX with room for fundraising breaks.  This is the first of five hours edited from the Spring 2010 Moth Series.  Use just this one hour, make it a two hour special by adding Hour 2, or keep going for up to five hours of Moth Marathon.
If you program multiple hours, Hour 1 should go first because it includes the founder of The Moth, George Dawes Green, explaining the origins of The Moth and it's name.
Each hour includes a detailed rundown including Timings & Cues, a suggested clock for using the program with a five minute news hole, and pitch points, as well as a content advisory.

Only stations who have broadcast the current season of the Moth Radio Hour, or have notified PRX of plans to do so, may air these Fundraising Programs.

This is a special series of The Moth Radio Hour Spring 2010, edited to be pledge friendly.  Each hour includes three Moth Stories with time for fundraising in between.

You can program one hour, a two-hour special, or up to a five hour marathon.  Possibilities also include a Mon-Fri run.

If you run one hour or multiple hours, it is recommended you start with Hour 1, because it includes George Dawes Green, Founder of the Moth, explaining how The Moth started and got its name.

Each hour includes a detailed rundown, including a clock using a 5 minute news hole, timings & cues, and suggested pledge language.
