Summer is coming and the Moth Education Program is offering workshops for high school students,
college students, and teachers to learn the art and craft of true personal storytelling.
As part of our mission to spread empathy through stories,
students and teachers will learn to use moth-style storytelling techniques to build personal narratives,
with benefits in and out of the classroom.
Applications for student and teacher workshops are open and the deadline for all applications is June 8th.
Apply on our website at themoth.org.edu.
This is the Moth Radio Hour.
I'm your host, John Good.
Let me start by asking you a question.
Have you ever had a week, a day,
or even just a moment that took a turn for the better or the worse that you just didn't see coming?
Maybe you found a scratch-off ticket on the street and it turned out to be a winner.
Perhaps you returned your car to the mall parking lot and discovered that your car was gone and only your anti-theft device was left in the parking space.
I once went to buy a t-shirt in a tourist market in St. John and ended up in a bar in a forest sitting next to a pig in St. Croix.
Life will certainly take you to some wild, interesting, and complicated places.
In this hour, we have five stories where things take an unforeseen turn for our storytellers.
Our first story comes from Sofia Stefanovich.
Sophia told this story where the apple is big and the pizza slices are even bigger.
