The Moth



Because Scavenger Life doesn't give me a daily 8 hr podcast to listen to while I work ;) I'm always on the lookout for something new to listen to. I think Jay and Ryanne should just install cameras in their home and let us in 24/7 reality show style ;) 

This weekend I stumbled in a roundabout way on something new to me. It started when I was listening to NPR in my car. The game show Ask Me Another was on. It always makes me laugh. When I got home I googled the host of the show, Ophira Eisenberg, because she is so funny. Google led me to a youtube video of Ophira on stage at a show called 'The Moth' telling a story. I'd never heard of The Moth before. Have you?? The best I can describe it is someone getting on stage and telling a story from their life. They run maybe 10 minutes and are both funny and touching. I listened to several yesterday while I worked. It's nice because you really don't need to watch the video to enjoy it, just listen. I just started one on youtube and when that one ended a new one automatically started. You can also listen from their website. Perfect background entertainment for when you're taking pictures and shipping.

Here are a couple that I listened to last night that I really enjoyed.

Starlee Kine Radical Honesty

Micaela Blei Fish Out of Water

Ebay News

I've been continuing to list daily. Sales have slowed down a little post holiday but not too bad. The next holidays coming up are Valentines Day, Mardi Gras, and St Patrick's so keep that in mind when sourcing and listing. I sold a piece of fabric today that had an irish theme. Last year or the year before I sold a vintage green sport coat using keywords St Patrick's Day. Keep your eye out for green jackets, ties and sweaters. Also, the super bowl is coming up. Pay attention to what teams are still in the running. I've got all of my Packers stuff up (I'm from Wisconsin). I sold a vintage Packers Super Bowl mug a couple of weeks ago.

    LOL @ "I think Jay and Ryanne should just install cameras in their home and let us in 24/7 reality show style"

    If they will put BUSH PEOPLE of ALASKA on then they will put anyone on so it may not be that far fetched, lol

    Thanks for the tip on The Moth !

      I commented recently on their blog that Jay and Ryanne should have a reality series. Seriously!

      However, Jay might not allow all the "drama" required for that!

    It sounds like you've discovered all the great public radio shows, but want to make sure you've found Radio Lab. Great stories for the inquiring minds.
