Trevor Noah&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/risk-show.com\/podcast\/shock\/\">story about his mother<\/a> is a recent one I recommend.

So many fantastic voices and stories. I often replay them later for my girlfriend. Top hits include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\u201dhttp:\/\/themoth.org\/posts\/stories\/olivers-pink-bicycle\u201d>Oliver\u2019s Pink Bicycle<\/a> &#8211; a son wants a pink bicycle<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/themoth.org\/posts\/stories\/the-all-star-game-2\">The All-Star Game<\/a> &#8211; a sister takes her brother on a trip to see a game<\/li>\n<li>All of <a href=\"http:\/\/themoth.org\/posts\/storytellers\/tara-clancy\">Tara Clancy&#8217;s stories<\/a> &#8211; she has a fabulous accent and her stories are hilarious and heart warming<\/li>\n<li>Andrew Solomon&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/themoth.org\/posts\/stories\/the-refugees\">account of Cambodian refugees healing<\/a> in his quest to understand his own depression.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.kcrw.com\/news-culture\/shows\/strangers\">Strangers<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Produced by Lea Thau, who was the first producer on The Moth. She interviews different people on the theme of what makes them feel a stranger. I always find these stories touching, even when the people&#8217;s experiences are so different from my own. For a start, try <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kcrw.com\/news-culture\/shows\/strangers\/american-mormon-international-mr-leather\">American Mormon-International Mr. Leather<\/a>.

I don&#8217;t listen regularly, but she gets the most amazing people, like <a href=\"http:\/\/www.onbeing.org\/program\/mary-oliver-listening-to-the-world\/7267\">Mary Oliver<\/a>. I did listen to her recent episode with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.onbeing.org\/program\/indigo-girls-music-and-finding-god-in-church-and-smoky-bars\/6008\">Amy Ray and Emily Saliers<\/a>, the Indigo Girls, who have been such a formative part of my own adulthood.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>HISTORY:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/stateofthereunion.com\/\">State of the Re:union<\/a> is no longer producing new episodes, but it is excellent.
