Mothers and Memories with Padma Lakshmi: The Moth Podcast
5/8/202646 min
In honor of Mother's Day, we've got a special episode hosted by Padma Lakshmi - a Moth storyteller, author, and the host and judge of America’s Culinary Cup. From buying cemetery plots, to learning to swim, to a treasured recipe - the three stories you’ll hear are all about motherhood, but they’re about more than that. They’re about the memories mothers and their children share and the legacy we leave behind once the kids grow up. Storytellers: Mary Mack has the daunting task of selling her mother’s cemetery plots. Parvathy Anantnarayan keeps a promise to her son to learn how to swim. Nikesh Shukla finds a frozen moment in time after the death of his mother.

Hey, it's Chloe Salmon from The Moth. As a story director, I talk to a lot of people who say they want to tell a story, but don't know where to start. A tip I give them, get specific. What's a moment that meant something to you? Your first home run, that road trip with your dad, the time you bombed at the talent show. Start there, then build on that foundation. You can find tips to help you identify those moments, along with prompts to inspire them, in The Moth's new guided journal, My Life in Stories. Whether you want to find your own story, reflect on your life, or even give it as a gift, you can order your copy at themoth.org/mylifeinstories. That's themoth.org/mylifeinstories.
