I am a huge fan of The Moth podcast. It is first and foremost about storytelling, "Moth stories are true, as remembered by the storyteller and always told live."
When you listen to an episode you're never quite sure what you'll get and that's what makes it fun. Inevitably, I ask myself what story I might share.
Recently I listened to a podcast labeled/titled, "Jury Duty, Walking Tests, Pepsi and NOLA"." They were four very different stories, all enjoyable but it's the last one, told by Chris Turgeon, that has stuck with me. Chris told the story of his son coming out to him. It is sweet and loving and funny. It is clear that while Chris had to dash his dreams of having an NFL playing son, he could not be more proud of who his son is. Chris self identifies as a conservative but when his son shared his news with him, "love took over."
