You might enjoy this story about the unremarkable beginning of The Onion.

"The head writer of The Onion recounts his slacker twenties and the life-altering moment that shaped his personality. Todd Hanson is the head writer of The Onion, America's Finest News Source, where he has worked since 1990 and been paid since 1997."

Indeed, I did. I often listen to The Moth while walking my dogs, but I'd missed this one.

Or at least I think I did... I had to google it up because the URL you gave me had some sort of oddly broken redirect, so I'm simply assuming that he only did one Moth recording.

You're welcome. The only thing I dislike about The Moth is the life experiences related seem to be outside the three sigmas of normal people. But the beauty of The Moth is everyone is unique and yet so same and relatable.
