I am a huge fan of The Moth podcast, but one 15-20 minute story a week is simply not enough! I’ve been downloading Snap Judgment podcasts, and they are OK but a little over-produced (sound effects, music, etc.) for my taste. However, they’re an hour long, which is good, since I like to listen to these when I’m running.
Anyone have recommendations for some other podcasts that are of the “real stories told by real people” ilk?
I too love the Moth. I also enjoy This American Life, which is more narrative by Ira Glass, but does have large chunks of audio by the person who is being portrayed, generally.
I look forward to seeing what else gets suggested in this thread.
QtM, our local public station carries “This American Life,” so I usually catch the broadcast but the podcast suggestion is a good one, as I do miss the broadcast sometimes.
