This episode of Geek's Guide to the Galaxy is brought to you by our friends at the Moth,

a popular podcast in which ordinary people are given just a few minutes to tell the most compelling true story they can in front of a live audience.

big fans of the moth and Steph has even read her work in front of hundreds of
