This is the Moth Radio Hour.
I'm your host, Jennifer Hickson.
In this hour, variations on the question, does the truth set you free?
Does it?
Coming up, stories of confessions, culpability, and sometimes redemption.
And occasionally, the truth shows up when you aren't even searching for it.
We're going to start with a story that we first heard at the Moth's pop-up porch.
which is a tiny house on wheels that we've carted around various cities in the United States,
searching for new tellers and stories.
When we parked in Dallas, Texas,
Brad Yule showed up to share a story around a bit of information that had shook up his world.
We were intrigued.
Later, we developed it for a mainstage show at the Moody Performance Hall,
where we partnered with AT&T Performing Arts Center.
From Texas, here's Brad Yule.
So it was 2019.
I was 48 years old, had been in my career for 25 years,
had been married to my wonderful wife for 27 years.
We had three great kids who were growing up too fast and my parents were still alive,
lived close by together and still in our lives.
