The Moth Radio Hour: Veterans Day Edition

The Moth Radio Hour

Tune in Saturday at 3 and Sunday at 6 for a special Veterans Day edition of The Moth Radio Hour:

  • After returning from active duty in the Middle East, a marine searches for new meaning
  • A 97 year old woman describes what it was like as a WASP training young men for WWII combat
  • A father being deployed to Iraq must find a way to explain it to his children
  • A WWII soldier from Wisconsin serves with the segregated 93rd Infantry Division in the South Pacific.

This special hour is hosted by The Moth's Producing Director, Sarah Austin Jenness. The Moth Radio Hour is produced by The Moth and Jay Allison of Atlantic Public Media.

Michelle Keenan was the Associate Director of Development at Blue Ridge Public Radio. She began volunteering for the station in 1996 and has been a full-time staff member since 1998.
