Michigan Public

Jay Allison says The Moth helps you go "deeply into something." It lets you learn about other people without the usual, daily distractions.

Some fine storytelling is coming to the Wharton Center at Michigan State University.

The Moth Mainstage happens tomorrow night, June 9, at 7:30.

Jay Allison, producer of The Moth Radio Hour, joined us today to talk about the event, the Moth's history and the often overlooked importance of storytelling.
