The wonderful Moth is offering subscriptions to receive one free story per week to listen to at your leisure on your iPod/MP3 player or your computer.
From The Moth:
We have collected a number of our favorite stories from the last 10 years, some of which you may never have heard.
Available for download are a story by Dan Kennedy from the Bumbershoot festival in Seattle last fall. It has never been featured in New York, as well as a short backlog of Moth favorites, including stories by Malcolm Gladwell, Alan Rabinowitz, and Elna Baker.
The Moth asks subscribers who like what they hear to tell their friends, alert the world outside New York, rate The Moth or write a short review on iTunes. “This is a big moment for us, and as you may know, a strong launch is key to a successful podcast. Help us get the word out. We will love you forever!” The Moth says.
