American Dreams: Home - The Moth Podcast

As America approaches it's 250th anniversary, we're dedicating our Spring Mainstage season, as well as a special three episode podcast and radio series, to exploring the American dream. Our first episode looked at American Icons, but today, we’re going to look at the concept of Home. We’ve got two stories about how people make a home for themselves in America, how, in their own pursuits of happiness, people create space for themselves, how people live in America, even when it’s difficult. This episode was hosted by Kate Tellers. Storytellers: Heather Crawford has to leave her home state of Texas in order to give her child the best possible life. Eric Yu learns more about his father through visiting his family in China. To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: Learn more about your ad choices. Visit
