Talks

Beloved storytelling series The Moth is back at BAM for the fourth year with Reckless: Stories of Falling Hard and Fast. Hosted by Dan Kennedy, this evening features five storytellers, each sharing a personal true tale from their life. The stories are told without notes, which lends an immediacy and intimacy to the evening.

The Moth celebrates its 20th anniversary this year, having presented thousands of stories to standing-room-only crowds since its launch in 1997. The series was the recipient of a 2012 John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation MacArthur Award for Creative & Effective Institutions (MACEI). The podcast is downloaded over 40 million times a year and the Peabody Award-winning show The Moth Radio Hour, produced by Jay Allison and presented by PRX, The Public Radio Exchange, airs weekly on over 450 radio stations nationwide.
