Welcome to the Moth Podcast. I'm Kate Tellers, and on this episode, timeless love. To celebrate Valentine's Day, we'll be exploring first loves and last loves. Loves that last a lifetime and loves that fade away after a few days. Our first story is about first love. Tate Russell told this at a Twin Cities Grand Slam where the theme of the night was crash course. Here's Tate live at the Moth.
