How can a 101-year-old woman fall in love again?

How can a 101-year-old woman fall in love again?

Hi there.

Here at The Moth, we believe in the power of storytelling to reveal something essential about the human experience and all the moments, the highs and the lows, that come with it.

And we know that moments from our past have a way of sticking with us, leaving us wishing we could have a do-over.

If you've ever found yourself replaying a moment from your past and wondering what could have gone differently, we think you'll enjoy a podcast that explores that very question.

It's called Heavyweight.

Host Jonathan Goldstein sits down with people to revisit a defining regret, lost connection, or unsolved mystery from their life.

Maybe it's a friendship that ended without closure or a mistake that never received an apology, and he tries to help them make it right.

The stories are funny, heart-wrenching, healing, and often make you laugh and cry in the same breath, largely like the stories we share here on The Moth.

In this preview, you'll meet Michael, who loved acting as a kid.

When he was a high school senior, he got his lucky break, the chance to star in a big budget movie.

Shooting wrapped, a premiere date was set, and then he found out that his success was all based on a lie.

Michael wanted to know, how did it all go so wrong?

All right, here's the episode.

We hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

And if you love hearing personal stories told with vulnerability, humor, and authenticity, we think you will.

Find Heavyweight wherever you get podcasts.

New episodes release on Thursdays.

Thanks for listening.
