The Germans have a word for second-hand embarrassment -- Fremdschämen! This hour may have you blushing on our storytellers' behalves. Wince-worthy moments from the halls of academia to a foreign train station, and a reminder to ALWAYS check who you're emailing before you hit "send." This episode is hosted by Moth Senior Director Meg Bowles. The Moth Radio Hour is produced by The Moth and Jay Allison of Atlantic Public Media. Storytellers: Marissa sees more of her mother than she'd like at her dissertation defense. Azhar Bawde-Ali creates an embarrassing situation over e-mail. On his way to a meeting at Warner Bros., Gbenga Akinnagbe ends up stranded on the side of a mountain. Joanne Richards has trouble saying "no." Wendy Suzuki describes her relationship to her emotions as "a struggle for control."
