The Moth Radio Hour features true stories told live on stage, without scripts, notes, or props. Each episode weaves together several storytellers from diverse backgrounds, sharing personal experiences that range from humorous to deeply moving. Recorded at Moth events across the United States and beyond, the program highlights the power of storytelling to build connection and reveal the human experience.

Created by the nonprofit organization The Moth, the series showcases stories curated from its open‑mic StorySLAMs, curated Mainstage events, and special thematic programs. Episodes often include brief host introductions that provide context for each storyteller and the event where the story was recorded.
