Audacy Partners With Leading Storytelling Nonprofit The Moth

Leading premium podcast network Audacy Podcast announced a strategic partnership with acclaimed storytelling nonprofit The Moth, to handle sales and distribution for the organization’s award-winning podcast, including video, social and sponsorships for live events.

To date, The Moth’s podcasts have been brought to listeners in partnership with PRX. PRX will continue to represent The Moth on public radio, which includes continued distribution of “The Moth Radio Hour” to more than 560 stations nationwide.

The Moth podcast feed will move to Audacy on January 1, 2025, and be accessible on the Audacy app and everywhere podcasts are available. The Moth will continue its release schedule with new and encore episodes of “The Moth Radio Hour” on Tuesdays and original episodes of “The Moth Podcast” on Fridays.

For over 27 years, The Moth has forged the modern storytelling movement, presenting over 60,000 true, personal stories to standing-room-only crowds at events and through storytelling workshops worldwide. Since 2008, these stories have reached tens of millions of listeners each year through “The Moth Radio Hour” and “The Moth Podcast.”

“As a nonprofit organization, the opportunity to broaden our reach with Audacy perfectly aligns with our mission of building a more connected world through the art of true personal storytelling. We’re thrilled to partner with their talented team to ensure these vital stories are amplified and heard by more listeners— and help brands connect with our community meaningfully through our audio programming, 600+ live event yearly, 1.33MM+ social media follower, and our digital extensions,” said Sarah Haberman, Executive Director of The Moth.

“Early in my career, I was a producer at The Moth, so I know firsthand how special this storytelling giant is. The Moth is unparalleled in the innovative work they create, and we’re thrilled to welcome them to the Audacy family,” said Jenna Weiss-Berman, EVP, Audacy Podcasts. “From the award-winning podcasts to live events and more, our partnership offers tremendous opportunities for advertisers to connect with deeply engaged listeners.”

With a deep archive of episodes, The Moth’s audio programing has garnered critical acclaim and cultural relevancy by featuring captivating, hysterical, gut-wrenching, unbelievably true stories from everyday people all over the world alongside notable names like Parma Lakshmi, Elizabeth Gilbert, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Kathleen Turner, Malcom Gladwell, Darryl “DMC” McDaniels, John Turturro, Molly Ringwald, Boots Riley, Krista Tippett, Damion Young, Mike Birbiglia, Rosanne Cash, Danyel Smith, Tig Notaro and more.
