Everyone has a story worth telling.

Tell us yours.

This is the Moth Radio Hour.

I'm your host, Chloe Salmon.

As an older sister, I love giving advice.

My brothers might say I love telling them what to do, but I object, Your Honor.

I say there's a lot of value in having someone pull up a chair, look you in your eyes, and give you their honest and objective take on whatever ails you.

Now, acting on that advice?

Another thing entirely.

And I think that's okay.

If we always did the sensible thing, I expect there would be far fewer good stories in the world.

And who wants that?

So in this episode, stories of advice.

Given, taken, and not so taken.

And a chance to ponder your own wisdom-giving chops when I sit down with one of our storytellers, who's also an advice columnist, who brought in some juicy questions to share with us.
