I have become an avid public radio listener. To the point where I’ve actually donated to the two major stations that play in our area. Normally if I’m driving in the car or doing a chore around the house, I flip on the radio to catch up on the news or to be entertained.
The other day I happened to turn it on during an odd hour of the day on Saturday and discovered that they had picked up The Moth, a live story-telling show. Anyone and everyone tells stories. Some of them are happy stories. Some of them are sad. Some of them are tragic.
When I flipped on the radio, they were just starting a disclaimer claiming that this might just be the most intense story they’ve done yet, and that parents should send their children out of the room.
“O…k…” I thought to myself. This is not the kind of thing I generally hear when listening to NPR.
