Best first episode to listen to?

I think this pod looks interesting, but the episode catalogue seems so vast. What do you think is the best episode to listen to first?

Man dead in hospital, wakes up

By far my favorite of all the moth. A man is shot when he is working at target. Wakes up in a hospital morgue, runs down the hallway naked. Run out the hospital naked. Police help him get home and his wife and daughter faint! I can't find it anywhere! Help. Please.

Please help me find an episode!

I am trying to find a specific episode from several years back. The theme was something along the lines of "defies expectations". A black woman was sharing her story of self discovery as a lesbian and practicing witch/Wiccan having grown up in a very conservative family. I believe I listened to this episode in 2014 or 2015, but not sure when the episode was first released. Any help would be much appreciated! Please and thank you.

Need help finding certain episode

This is from a while ago, probably 2010-2012. This episode is the very first moth piece I had ever heard, and it’s what made me an avid listener. The one story I remember pretty vividly was about a home owner who shot a burglar that was in his house (while the house was dark). And when he turned the lights on it turns out the “burglar” was actually a pretty young kid, and about how the home owner regrets his actions. Thanks in advance if anyone can tell me which episode this is from

Download

Is there a central repository for Moth stories to download them locally? I have a very long drive coming up and would prefer not to stream them if I don't have to.

Favorite emotional Moth Video?

Hi everyone! I've been looking through all sorts of moth videos, and I really want to find one that's emotional, deep, and has some humor in it as well?

Your Son Saved My Life

Between short messages back and forth, my son’s friend shared, “I have to tell you a story, your son saved my life, and the lives of three others.” The story begins with exchange students, from warm climates, experiencing the elements of a Montana winter. This story says so much about my son, and how great of a person he is in life and in spirit.​​

Just a reminder to new or would-be listeners

You can always catch the radio show, usually on weekends, by checking with Public Radio Fan for times and stations that are broadcasting it. The podcast frequently but not always has the full radio program for the previous week, and when it doesn't, the podcast plays usually two stories which haven't been part of a broadcast.
