Story Swap

Story Swap is a live storytelling podcast that travels the Midwest, capturing true-life stories told on stage in theaters, back rooms, bars, and community spaces. Each episode brings you real people sharing real experiences — raw, funny, heartbreaking, and deeply human — exactly as they were told live, in front of an audience. Hosted by storyteller and Moth Mainstage alum Jackie Andrews, Story Swap goes behind the scenes with the producers who create these storytelling stages and features powerful stories from both seasoned tellers and first-time voices. From small towns to major cities across the Rust Belt, Story Swap highlights the communities, moments, and connections that make live storytelling unforgettable. This is a show about listening, courage, and the stories we carry — and what happens when we finally tell them out loud. 🎙️ Real people. Real stories. Real connection. 🌾 Recorded live across the Midwest.
