First Audio Story: http://themoth.org/stories/man-and-beast
This story had a great "book ending." In the beginning, it talked about him being a little boy in the zoo. When he looked into the animals' eyes, he promised he would be the animal's voice. Well in the end he wrapped the story up by describing his experience of looking into the Jaguar's eyes. It reminded him of when he was a kid and at the moment, he did a wonderful job of describing the mental connection he had with the Jaguar had. It felt as if you were there yourself in that moment. Even though I found this part to be predictable, it still was entertaining to hear. This was an example of great story telling, esp. after hearing that he had a stuttering problem, yet spoke clearly and thoroughly.
Second Audio Story: http://themoth.org/stories/toast
What I really enjoyed about this story is the beginning of the story. Before just jumping into the story about the birthday party he performed at, he described his feelings in detail of how he felt. He talked about how he was excited to do stand up comedy at Robert DeNiro's birthday and fantasies he had about creating a movie with Robert. Even though he was a comedian, he said he would of loved to create a movie with Robert. However what was really enjoyable is that he makes it extremely comedic. He could of plainly said that he loves DeNiro, but he added a comedic twist to the plot and keeps you entertained.
