ABOUT THIS EPISODE

Liberating Yourself with Busy Philipps: The Moth Podcast

On this very special episode of the Moth Podcast we feature stories of women and their liberation. This episode is hosted by actress, author and mega-fan of the Tony-nominated play Liberation, Busy Philipps, and features a conversation with its Pulitzer-Prize-winning playwright Bess Wohl and Obie-winning director Whitney White.

The three stories will take us from the middle of the ocean, to a nude spa in Santa Fe, to a rest stop in Texas… but all of them are about breaking free. About discovering yourself.

Storytellers:

Rescue swimmer Amanda Burrill is left by her ship during a drill, staying deep in the ocean unsure of when her crew would return.

Jennifer Kohnhorst vacations at a fancy clothes-optional spa.

On a road trip home, Victoria Nguyen is thrust into a dangerous situation.
