The Moth , founded in 1997, is a New York-based non-profit organization dedicated to the art and craft of storytelling. WDET brought The Moth StorySLAM to Detroit at the end of 2009 and it has been the hottest literary ticket in town. Hosted by Alex Trajano, StorySLAMs take place at Cliff Bell's on the first Thursday of each month. We also regularly air new seasons of the Peabody Award winning Moth Radio Hour. Check back for new episodes, videos, event listings, photos and more!
