Grit and gumption: Recent Episodes
Catherine Burns, The Moth
We are proud of share Ophira with Ask Me Another! Love how she takes you on a wild ride – so many twists in this one.
Abeny Kucha’s story, “The First Cow” is a recent favorite. Abeny is a Sudanese refuge who called our pitchline. Love how she’s kept her sense of humor after enduring unspeakable hardship and tragedy.
Robert Smalls was an enslaved man who freed himself by commandeering a Confederate transport ship and sailing it from Confederate-controlled waters to safety.
Kate is the chaplain for the Maine Game Wardens, charged with holding space for families in moments of both great crisis and joy.
On Being is my favorite radio show, and I adore Rosanne (who recently told a kickass Moth story.) This episode gets to the heart of where creativity originates.
