love these real stories! which there were more
For those who listen to the Moth's podcast, or have heard their events reproduced in segments on This American Life, we know how entertaining and affecting a well-told, no-notes live story can be. True Story events offer the same kind of experience, with tales that range from serious to lighthearted, dramatic to hilarious. Every single one is amazing and worth listening to. Awesome podcast.
This kind of podcast is what I was looking for when I originally subscribed to the Moth and Snap Judgment. What people need to understand is that on those other podcasts, you are dealing with *professional* story tellers whose job it is to dress up stories and tell them with a neat beginning, middle, and end to entertain an audience. They are professional entertainers who might work with editors and then travel the country to tell people in theaters about their misadventures. It ends up feeling like a play. I have been to live events including the Moth, and this podcast is so much better.
Doesn't compare to The Moth at all. Some stories are entertaining, but for the most part the story tellers lack the articulation and ability to not ramble on, that The Moth podcast offers. Good idea, but perhaps choose only well spoken, professional speakers in the future.
