In today's episode, we discuss the topic of victimhood, what that means and how it may be the result of painful ad traumatic experiences. More specifically, we dive into the topics of how to build a support system while struggling through a traumatic event, learning how to move forwards with our life, and how to transition into the healing process. It can be hard to move out of the vicious cycle of self-blame, pain, and trauma. However, if we are able to detach ourselves and our identity from one particular negative event and allow ourselves to receive help from our closest friends then we can move away from victimhood. Today, we discuss how this may lead to self-isolation, how victimhood may become a learned behaviour that feels as if it can not be changed, creates feelings of helplessness, and how we might need to separate a traumatic event from one's identity. Being a victim can be used as a barrier to real growth or change, freezing us in a moment of time in our lives. As a result, victimhood may become a form of self-protection to prevent us from having to go through and process our emotions.  Join us on today's episode as we discuss these topics and much more, including learning how to move on, allowing ourselves to build a support system and how to move into the healing process.

An Emmy winner for his outstanding performance in the television drama, "Our Father", this former escape artist's (handcuffs, chains, straight jackets) abilities range from intense drama to stand-up comedy. Anthony Griffith, was destined to make you laugh. Married, growing up in the inner city and reared by a religious mother, all help lay the foundation for Anthony's hilarious insights about life, liberty and the pursuit of sanity.  Anthony's rise in comedy is in no small part due to his inventive brand of humor. Whether reminiscing about a younger brother saddled with hand-me-downs, "even his childhood pictures were old pictures of me", or his thoughts on marriage, "After twenty years, five stitches and one restraining order, I've learned to say I'm sorry."  It's this story-telling style that captured the attention of Lea Thau of The Story-ville Center for the Spoken Word. Invited to participate in "The Moth" story-telling festival in Aspen, Co. several years ago, Anthony mesmerized audiences with his raw honesty and wit, sharing a personal story never before revealed.

Are you afraid of the new and the unknown things in your life? In this episode of FEAR NOT, Peabody Award-winning Producer and Director, Lea Thau talks about the fear of the transitions in our lives and the unknown, and how not to be overwhelmed by them.  

This is a continuation of my conversation with Harry Duran. If you haven’t listened to the previous episode, please go back to Episode 40 to listen to the start of the conversation, which focuses on how cultivating an abundance mentality can help in one’s success journey. Sometimes that starts with investing in yourself and investing in others for personal growth, but without sounding too woo-woo, having that generosity of heart can also lead to more good things in the future. It also discusses how to experience growth outside one’s comfort zone.  In this episode, Part II we dive into how to get into a zen mindset from meditation and being present. We also get into short form and local podcasting and more. Who is Harry? Harry Duran is Founder of FullCast, a full-service, done-for-you podcast production and marketing consultancy. He helps six-figure entrepreneurs amplify their authority and extend their reach through the power of podcasting. As Host of the popular Podcast Junkies on iTunes for the past 3 years, Harry has had conversations with a wide array of interesting and engaging podcasters. Some of his most memorable guests have included Marc Maron, Executive Producer Brendan McDonald, Lea Thau, Host of Strangers, Helen Zaltzman, Host of The Allusionist, and Jordan Harbinger, Host of The Art of Charm, just to name a few. Harry has given talks at podcasting conferences on the importance of finding your voice and the importance of long-term engagement with your podcast guests. Harry shares lessons learned from his first 25 interviews in his first book, Around the Podcast Campfire: Conversations with Engaging Podcasters. As a consultant and coach, Harry empowers clients to augment their content marketing through the power of a podcast. As a speaker, Harry challenges leaders to understand the importance of finding their unique voice. Quotes from Harry I think it's that connection and I always tell people—when I've been starting to speak on stages—I just need to connect with one person. I don't care if there's ten people in the room or one thousand, and so far it's been happening. Like one person or two people would come up to me and be like, 'You know that one thing you said really resonated with me,' and I'm like, 'Done! I'm glad!' Just want to connect with one person because I think too often speakers feel the need to get the standing ovation or get everyone laughing at all their jokes and all that stuff but that just comes with time. Pick one or two people in the audience, make eye contact, have a real one-to-one so you still feel like you're talking to another human being (2:55) I was just aware that I was like making an effort to maintain a connection and it takes a little bit of work and I'm not saying it's something that should be hard but when you're conscious of it, you know, whatever you put your attention to—you know where attention goes, energy flows—that's where I started feeling that's important for me to do, so I was more aware of it during the conferences those few days. I'm like 'okay one real connection, one real conversation.' And then I realized I had a lot of meaningful conversations throughout the course of the week. (6:09) On Starting a Meditation Practice It doesn't have to be a lot in the beginning, you know when people get stressed out, 'Oh, I don't have half an hour or 15 minutes' or 'I don't know what do.' Just take 5 minutes, you can't get it wrong.You literally just close your eyes and if all you do is think about paying your bills for the next 5 minutes, and then you open your eyes, that's fine...you'll keep getting better and better, just keep doing it. It's just one of those things that keeps getting better the more you do it. (9:12) On Starting a Podcast  Don't overthink it. In the beginning, you're gonna have ideas that you might think are silly but there's nothing that says you can't record it and not do anything with it. A lot of times people are like,

A Happy New Year to you! I hope you were able to reflect on your wins and lessons learned from the past year, as well as set intentions for growth in all areas of life for this coming year. My conversation with Harry Duran is in two parts. The first part focuses on how cultivating an abundance mentality can help in one’s success journey. Sometimes that starts with investing in yourself and investing in others for personal growth, but without sounding too woo-woo, having that generosity of heart can also lead to more good things in the future. It also discusses how to experience growth outside one’s comfort zone. I had met Harry at the Mid-Atlantic Podcast Conference in the fall of last year, and am thrilled to share this conversation, especially in light of recent events. After hearing Oprah Winfrey’s empowering speech at the Golden Globes, I think there’s an opportunity and responsibility to speak our truths for what’s right on a global and local scale and create safe spaces for personal freedoms. Without getting too deep, as that’s a separate conversation altogether, and you’ll find conversations on that all across the Internet, what I like about my chat with Harry is getting those courage muscles moving like you would at the gym. Because to get to the “new day that’s on the horizon” or in this case a new year as in new year’s resolutions, we need to take that first step and get out of our comfort zones as related to personal growth and development which in the end, is a service to the greater good. With that, let’s get into the first part of the conversation. Who is Harry? Harry Duran is Founder of FullCast, a full-service, done-for-you podcast production and marketing consultancy. He helps six-figure entrepreneurs amplify their authority and extend their reach through the power of podcasting. As Host of the popular Podcast Junkies on iTunes for the past 3 years, Harry has had conversations with a wide array of interesting and engaging podcasters.

As a consultant and coach, Harry empowers clients to augment their content marketing through the power of a podcast. As a speaker, Harry challenges leaders to understand the importance of finding their unique voice. Quotes from Harry I had this realization that I need to stop listening to other people and figure out what my voice is telling me to do. (4:45) No podcaster likes their first episode, and their tenth is going to sound better than their first, and their fiftieth is gonna sound better than their tenth and so on and so on and you keep getting better. If you don't start getting on that bicycle and start learning, and take those training wheels off as soon as possible, you're just gonna be stuck and you're not gonna be improving. And if you're a real entrepreneur, you have to be super comfortable with failure, you know. And this idea of failing fast and failing forward as they say, you know you just get up you just dust yourself off. (8:03) I think I heard someone say if you have a coach and they don't have a coach then you need a new coach. (12:44) I looked at my circle and I'm like 'Who are the people who are building businesses?' And I really didn't know a lot of people, and I'm like 'I need to find out who these people are and invest in myself,' and I just continued to have that mindset on a regular basis. (17:37) What You’ll Learn His transition from six-figure corporate earner to full-time podcaster

With Special Guest Lauren Lapkus is the perfect podcast for the actress and comedian, because she'd much prefer to play a character than be herself. Also, we ask Strangers' Lea Thau how she maintained her radical empathy by bunking with Trump supporters and rescue the host of How's Your Day from endless newspaper archives. Plus: How Rep. Keith Ellison uses a podcast to talk to his constituents (and the Congressman's spot-on Ira Glass impersonation).

Ad injection is when you earn money from audio and visual ads getting automatically placed throughout an episode at different intervals. These ads are provided by our trusted partners. Our new Revenue Sharing program allows ads to be automatically inserted into both downloaded episodes and stitched onto on-demand streaming.Every time an ad gets an impression, meaning that it was listened to by your audience, you’ll earn a specific amount of money. In Spreaker’s case, you’ll get 65% per Cost per impression or CPM (1,000 impressions), depending on a variety of factors, like who is providing the ad.It’s automatic. But here is the really smart bit:You remain totally in control of the exact conditions of the ad insertion, which you can edit at any time.Our new system allows to choose:The position of the ad (pre-rolls and/or post-rolls)How many ads to include and how often.The maximum duration of the ad to be injected Listener Comments:Chris TopThe logo looks great.

If you are going to engage in any of these platforms that have a super low barrier to entry, it is also your responsibility to learn how to build your own audience. As a matter of fact, building your audience should be part of your content creation process. Who are you creating content for? Why would they listen? You can just about find any audience on the internet if you do your homework. And finding an audience doesn't mean that you have millions of viewers after creating 3 half-assed episodes. Building a loyal audience is often slow and painful in the very beginning -- and that's ok. So there is no problem with discoverability on the part of minorities or non-minorities (I hate using the word minority...). It's about knowing how to build your audience. Educate your people on how to find you. I listen to podcasts on apps on my phone, YouTube, blog posts, etc. So while people may not be looking for podcasts in particular, they do consume media on other platforms. If you show up where your audience hangs out and you won't have a problem.Spreaker Links:http://Adore.fmhttp://blog.spreaker.comhttp://SpreakerLiveShow.comhttps://Spreaker.comEmail: rob at spreaker.comSend Questions and Comments to:Twitter: http://twitter.com/spreaker using #SpreakerLiveTwitter: http://twitter.com/robgreenleeTwitter: http://twitter.com/alexeum Tech Support: support at spreaker.com

Discover if you have the interest - and the stomach - to be a radio entrepreneur, and learn what it takes. Own Your Thing (Part 2) was hosted by Lea Thau - who built The Moth from a small local series to a nation organization - with panelists Chris Bannon (WNYC), Alex Blumberg (Gimlet Media), and Kerri Hoffman (PRX/Radiotopia). Recorded at the 2014 Third Coast Conference. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Now more than ever, you can own your podcast - make it, distribute it, sell it. How is it done? Discover if you have the interest - and the stomach - to be a radio entrepreneur, and learn what it takes. Own Your Thing (Part 1) was hosted by Lea Thau, with panelists Daniel Alarcón (Radio Ambulante), Hillary Frank (Longest Shortest Time), and Nick van der Kolk (Love + Radio). Recorded at the 2014 Third Coast Conference. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Dagens udsendelse er blandt andet en opskrift på hvordan man kan - ved hjælp af podcasts - kan undgå at blive et dumt og kedeligt menneske. Du kan også møde danske Lea Thau, der producerer den populære amerikanske podcasts Strangers - den bliver hvert år downloadet 8 millioner gange og omkring podcasten er der opstået et stærk lyttefællesskab. Lea Thaus mission er at gøre os til 'strangers no more', og det gør hun ved at få folk til at fortælle om de livsbegivenheder - tab, kærlighed, sygdom, overgreb, familie eller længsel - der har formet og præget dem. Og om alle de sårbare og ofte modstridende, ulogiske og mangfoldige følelser, som de har sat i gang. Lea Thau har også udforsket både sin egen kærlighed og sit had - i serierne Love Hurts, hvor hun interviewede mænd, der havde afvist hende, og en række nye episoder, hvor hun konfronterer Trumpvælgere med sin vrede efter det amerikanske valg. Jeg interviewede Lea Thau på Den Sorte Diamants internationale forfatterscene, og i det uddrag, som du kan høre i dagens udsendelse, fortæller Lea Thau om hvordan det at fortælle historier får os til at forstå vores liv, om hvorfor det kan være nødvendigt at sprænge døren ind til ens personlige historier med dynamit og hvordan man kan være en empatisk historiefortæller, når man er fyldt med had efter Trump kom til magten. Hør Strangers her: http://www.storycentral.org/strangers/ Love Hurts-serien: https://soundcloud.com/kcrwstrangers/sets/love-hurts-series og Lea in Trumpland: http://www.storycentral.org/lea-in-trumpland-alicia/ Det er også tid til at sige farvel - dette er den sidste udgave af P1 podcaster - og 'fortsæt alene!', som den gamle radiogymnastikkaptajn Jespersen altid sluttede sine udsendelser med. På www.dr.dk/drpodcast finder du radiodrama, dokumentarerer og andre interessante podcastfortællinger. Og hvis du vil udforske det internationale podcastunivers, så kan jeg anbefale følgende podcasts om podcast: De amerikanske: The Big Listen (http://biglisten.org/ ), Sampler (https://gimletmedia.com/sampler/ ) og The Spot (http://kalw.org/programs/spot#stream/0 ) og canadiske Podcast Playlist (http://www.cbc.ca/radio/podcastplaylist ). God lyttefornøjelse! Medvirkende: Lea Thau. Vært: Susanna Sommer.

I dag kan du komme med P1 podcaster i fængsel. I sidste uge havde Ear Hustle premiere - det er sidste skud stammen hos podcastfællesskabet Radiotopia. Podcasten bliver lavet af indsatte i San Quentin fængslet i USA og den første episode handlede om cellekammerater.Så i den anledning ser jeg i dag på podcasts, der handler om livet bag tremmerne. Du kan høre om checkbedrageren, der delte fængsel med den sidste amerikanske koloni for spedalske, transkvinden, der afsonede sammen med 400 mænd i Norge og den indsatte, der holdt op med at gå i bad for at tvinge sin cellekammerat til at lade være med at se sæbeoperaer på sit TV. Folkene bag den helt nye podcast Ear Hustle - de to indsatte: Earlonne Woods og Antwan Williams og fotografen Nigel Poor, der har undervist i fænglset - deltog i Radiotopias Podquest sidste år. Det var en verdensomspændende podcastkonkurrence, hvor præmien var et medlemskab af podcastfællesskabet. Der kom 1537 forslag og efter en 8 måneder lang udskillelsesproces vandt Ear Hustle. Podcasten fortæller om dagliglivet i fængslet og den første episoder tager os med ind i de bitte små celler, hvor 2 indsatte skal få hverdagen til at fungere år ud og år ind. Hør Ear Hustle: https://www.earhustlesq.com/ I Norge bliver der også lavet lydfortællinger bag tremmerne. Fængselsindsatte har siden 2014 fortalt om livet i Oslos fængsler i Røverradion, der både er en podcast og nu også bliver sendt på en af NRKs kanaler. Det er et rehabiliteringsprojekt og sidste sommer interviewede jeg Røverhusets leder Mina Hadjian og Alex, som er en af røverradions værter og så langt med sin straf, at han nu bor i et halvvejshus. De fortæller hvordan arbejdet med historiefortælling giver de hårde gutter lidt rundere kanter og lærer dem, hvordan det er at have et arbejde. Hør Røverradion: http://www.roverhuset.no/no/om/15-roverradion Ugens lytteranbefaling går til podcasten Criminal, der fortæller historier om forbrydere, politimænd, retsmedicinere og ofre, og som med mellemrum også tager sine lyttere ind bag fængselsmurene. Hør Criminal: http://thisiscriminal.com/ Medvirkende: Mina Hadjian, Malte Vuorela og Lea Thau. Vært: Susanna Sommer.

With Special Guest Lauren Lapkus is the perfect podcast for the actress and comedian, because she'd much prefer to play a character than be herself. Also, we ask Strangers' Lea Thau how she maintained her radical empathy by bunking with Trump supporters and rescue the host of How's Your Day from endless newspaper archives. Plus: How Rep. Keith Ellison uses a podcast to talk to his constituents (and the Congressman's spot-on Ira Glass impersonation).

Alison Hagan of the MS Society is back to tell us about a personal passion, The Edmonton Story Slam. We learn how it all started, the talented participants, prize money and Paul & Chris have a slam of their own. The Moth really helped to popularize the idea of story slams. The Edmonton Story Slam was started by Alison’s sister Susan with the help of Alison and friends. You’ve got to follow the Rules when you attend a slam. The Mercury Room hosts the Story Slam. Gail de Vos. The Storytelling Festival. Matthew MacKenzie is a past winner of the Story Slam and a playwright. The Story Slam often partners with other organizations in the area like the public library. The Edmonton Story Slam is a non-profit organization ran by volunteers. The Arts Council, on spec and LitFest also provide support and partnerships from time to time. Alison tells us about Laura Lynn Johnston’s success at Story Slam. Laura Lynn heads up the team of the Edmonton chapter of Creative Mornings. Other regular storytellers, Shariq Wani, Nick Zon, Liam Shaw, Omar Mouallem, Kelsey Beier, Alyssa Hudson and many more can be found on the Past Winners page. Interview with Lea Thau, formerly with The Moth. Paul slams Chris with his story. Alison reminds us to check out MS Bike & MS Walk. The Edmonton Story Slam is every third Wednesday of the month at The Mercury Room. Thanks to Alison Hagan for judging our own little story slam and sharing her time!

As my health improves and I feel more secure with my baby care skills, we begin to venture out. We meet my sister Charlotte, who looks so relaxed and confident out here in public. I can't even imagine feeling that way again, but I try to let it rub off on me. We sit and I breastfeed to settle you. Thankfully, you attach easily, barely allowing a glimpse, restoring my modesty with your little head, looking like you're sleeping in my arms. I can block out the world and find my centre again. Charlotte is in her last weeks of maternity leave. The thought of being away from you actually hurts and I'm grateful that I won’t have to face this for a long time. I haven't decided if I'll return to Denmark when my year is up . I don’t know what will be best for us. The decisions I'll have to make will be both practical and emotional. You already know we did go back. When you were 10 months old, the two of us moved back to Denmark, to full time work for me and full time childcare for you. In my mind it is an 18 month commitment. I don't want you to be away from your family for any longer than this. When things are good it’s workable, but if you get sick I have no options. I have to stay home and then my students have no teacher. Even when we are both well, I can't put in the hours I did before. I feel I'm not being the teacher or the mother I want to be. I'm always letting somebody down. I don't want to live like this. As we left Denmark a year ago, I could see three paths: to find another ambitious job in Australia, to study again, or to stop searching for outside options and commit. To put paid work and institutional security on hold for creative work. This is the financially irresponsible option. For me, the bravest and riskiest option. It's also the one that allows flexibility so I can be available for you when you needed me, guilt free. This is what I want to try, but I have to fight hard against my instinct to seek security, structure, and the validation that comes with working for a great institution. I start the podcast. The pressure of responsibility has a way of keeping me focused. I'm getting traction. We are on TV, we're on the radio, in print, at home and abroad. It's not always good, but mostly people receive what I'm doing in the spirit in which I'm doing it. There are no geographical boundaries, which is exactly what I'd hoped. People are listening, it's resonating, they're donating money to help me continue. Audio makers reach out, and I'm welcomed in. A network, Wondery! I’m not alone anymore. I'm part of something bigger! And with that, sponsorship! An income! It's modest, but it's an income! I'll be able to service my car, go to the dentist, buy new pants to replace the ones that suddenly only reach the top of your socks. Throw out my maternity bras! I'm on the way to making a living again, but this time working for me. This production is made by me, Sophie Harper, in partnership with Wondery! I'm supported by generous listeners and the Australian Cultural Fund. Music by Dexter Britain, Broke for Free, Chris Zabriskie and Versus Shade Collapse. Thanks to my family, my friends, my daughter, and to Dan Lizette, Lea Thau, Jon Cohen, Michelle Webster, Cathy Gray, Kate Montague, Koren Helbig, Hernan Lopez, and to listeners and friends who believe in what I'm doing and have encouraged and supported me to keep doing it. Thank you for the iTunes reviews and for the messages, and donations! I feel very blessed. I'll be back in two weeks to tell you about the gentle and happy routines of early motherhood.

After my maternity leave, in 2014, we did move back to Denmark, just for 18 months. I did make it work, mostly, as a single mother with a demanding job, thanks to my incredible friends and colleagues. It was painful when we left them, your second family, but so worth it for you to know your grandparents, aunt and uncle, and your little cousins. There are three of them now. Nick met Nozomi soon after you were born, little Ibuki followed, and any day now, I mean I’m literally expecting the call, a fifth baby cousin will arrive!  But I'm jumping ahead. It’s December 2012, Denmark. I'm 7 months pregnant. As I eat my nightly 3am pancakes, I research basinets, baby baths, change tables and car capsules.  Work is busy and I'm not so light on my feet now. The documentary project, my other baby, is underway and I’m trying to manage logistics and offer some guidance to the students before they head off to shoot. Working with these courageous students, over years, seeing them make compelling films, has given me the courage and the drive to make this series. Students of the EFC, I owe you a debt of gratitude. I would not be doing this if it weren’t for everything you taught me. On the last day of school, in the morning, we have a staff Christmas event with gifts for everyone. I haven't anticipated that this is also a farewell for me. I'm given presents for my baby, and a speech, by the Principal, that is so moving, that I cannot speak to reply. It's hard to say goodbye. I don’t know if I'm coming back and so much of my heart is here. As I board the final flight to Sydney, I am thinking more and more of home, of the new life I'm about to start, and I'm feeling excited now.  I'm reunited with my family and meet my baby nephew Alexander for the first time. It's a year since I was last home. Life can change so much in a year. Another family Christmas, but this time with a two nephews, and you, so close.   Not By Accident is made by me, Sophie Harper. Thank you to my friends, my family, my former students and colleagues and my daughter for allowing me to record, for your endless support and for believing in me. It means the world.   Also a big thank you to the generous and talented Liz Tran of Blue Sky Designs, who has built me a beautiful new website, somehow, miraculously, while juggling a baby and a toddler.

Just before The Wolf Den hits its 100th episode milestone, Adam takes a brief listen back to relive some highlights in what's been an exciting six years in the evolution and growth of Midroll, and podcasting. Adam shares early clips from podcast innovators like Marc Maron and Chris Hardwick, along with entrepreneurs who were influential behind the scenes. We also listen in on some of the important milestones in podcasting and Midroll history, as heard on the show, and get some keen insights on podcasting from hosts like Paul Scheer, Matt Gourley, Paul F. Tompkins, Lea Thau, and Neil deGrasse Tyson.

We're talking about stakes. And we don't mean those slabs of meat you eat if you're not a vegetarian, but what makes a listener or a reader care about a story. And we're talking about what we have to lose as storytellers when we tell our stories. One thing we know about memoir writing is that the narrator lived to tell the tale. So if we know the narrator lived, why do we care? The job of storytellers is to make us care. Andrea talks about a writing webinar with Lea Thau, host and producer of Strangers, http://www.storycentral.org/strangers/. Lea describes how the written story is different than the event that actually happened. There's the situation and what the story is about. The most pointed way to figure out what the story is about, is to ask: What's at stake? What is there to be lost or won? The biggest mistake people make is thinking that a dramatic experience equals a story. Andrea uses a personal example to illustrate this point. While Andrea was giving her vows, her uncle Bob went down. She realized that nobody was listening and then saw a man on the ground. The wedding went on, Bob survived, but no one heard her vows. The situation is that Bob went down but the real story, what was at stake was whether or not Andrea felt heard. We discuss what the students in Writing Class Radio have to lose by telling their stories. In Episode 3, Allison told a story, which implicates her mom. And her mom got pissed. And Danny dropped out. Sometimes we don't know what's at stake in telling our stories. That for some, there are real risks. But in the end, we think not telling our stories is riskier. We take you into class where Inessa struggles with how she wants to live without hiding. Inessa's afraid to look bad, but she knows that hiding is worse. That's her conflict. Those are the stakes. So we're rooting for her. Go Inessa. You can do this. You also hear Wendi in response to the prompt: What Do You Have to Lose? And Terry tells us how her friend Fred's death sparked the fear of losing all the people who share her past. Inessa tells a longer story about holding out for true love. Her mama describes her own life at Inessa's age (40) and how Inessa's life falls short of mama's expectations. Mama wants a wedding and a baby. Her papa's 20-year-old suit is still hanging in the closet waiting for that special day. Will Inessa continue to follow her own heart? Will she ever please her parents?You will hear a story by Christopher Alonso, a listener in Ohio, in response to the prompt: A time I fucked up.Coming up in the next episode: Andrea tells her story about the time she challenged herself to go 24 hours without talking about herself. And you'll hear Jahn Dope's story about being a 250 pound black man in a very vulnerable position. The episode is about writing a story meant to be told out loud.Writing Class Radio is a podcast where you'll hear true personal stories and learn a little about how to write your own stories.

Miranda Sawyer continues her exploration into the world of podcasts by rounding up some of the best from around the globe. This week's programme features personal storytelling concerning issues which some of us find it hard to talk about: love, sex, family and money. Matters of the heart. Guests include Anna Sale, creator and host of New York-based podcast, "Death, Sex and Money", and Lea Thau, who documented her own love life in a series for Los Angeles-based Strangers podcast "Love Hurts". Producer: Jim Frank Researcher: Chris Pearson.

Lea Thau is one of the strongest influencers of the modern storytelling style that has taken off in radio, television, advertising, and, of course, podcasting. She is a Peabody Award-winning producer and director, the former executive director of The Moth storytelling organization, and now the creator and host of the podcast Strangers. On this episode Lea tells Adam why she left The Moth and how Strangers came together, explaining the show's relationship to  public radio station KCRW and the Public Radio Exchange's Radiotopia podcast network. Since Radiotopia is funded through both Kickstarter and sponsorships, Lea touches on the difference, and how listeners respond to hearing her read advertisements. They discuss the recent evolution of storytelling, why Lea is drawn to it, and how the kind of narratives she presents on Strangers differ from journalism. She also shares the process of revealing her life more in the show, and what her advice is for the podcaster who wants to be a good storyteller.
