With big wireless providers, what you see is never what you get. Somewhere between the store and your first month's bill, the price you thought you were paying magically skyrockets. With Mint Mobile, you'll never have to worry about gotchas ever again. When Mint Mobile says $15 a month when you purchase a three-month plan, they mean it. Which I appreciate. I know I'm not alone in feeling like I sometimes need an advanced degree to read my cell phone bill. Sometimes it's like they make it confusing on purpose. Mint Mobile to the rescue. What's easier to understand than $15 a month when you purchase a three-month plan? Ditch overpriced wireless with Mint Mobile's deal and get three months of premium wireless service for $15 a month.

Welcome to the Moth Podcast. I'm Sarah Austin Janess. The year is coming to a close, and on this special bonus episode, we're reflecting back on the stories we shared in 2024, because we shared over 250 of them on this podcast. Yes, 250 stories. Some of the stories were laugh-out-loud funny, some were heartbreaking, some surprising and profound. Maybe some of the stories made you see things in a different light. Thank you for listening and for sharing these podcast episodes with your friends. We love it. And we thought it might be fun to highlight some stories that most resonated with you, at least according to the vagaries of the social media algorithm. So we made a video compilation of our most shared stories.
A moth-wrapped, if you will. A moth-cocoon, if you will, even more. Moth-wrapped, get it? Anyway, you can find the list and the videos on the Moth's Instagram at Moth Stories, where you can follow us for more great Moth videos, news, and yes, stories. We also have a link in the episode description. And now from your 2024 most shared list, Monty Montepar. Monty told this at a Moth main stage at St. Anne and the Holy Trinity Church in Brooklyn, where the theme was Sleight of Hand. Here's Monty live with the Moth.
At 23 years old, I was in my third season working as a glacier guide in Alaska. I took people hiking on glaciers, ice climbing on glaciers, and that spring I had successfully summited the 16,000 foot glaciated volcano that looms over town. I was feeling very confident in my skills in the mountains, and I could finally grow a full beard. So when my friend Elizabeth asked if I wanted to be her assistant on a fly-in base camping trip, I said, oh yeah, that sounds super chill. She told me the four clients were the women that I had met that afternoon on the deck of the guide service. They were decked out head to toe in brand new Arc'teryx rain gear, which is a red flag. Not only is Arc'teryx the Prada of outdoor equipment, but generally speaking, the newer the gear, the less the experience. Which was exceptionally true in this case. They were from New York City. And had never been camping. They had never slept in a tent. I lived in a tent. Elizabeth said, yeah, that's why they want you along.
