Liberating Yourself with Busy Philipps: The Moth Podcast

About this episode

This episode features stories of women and their liberation, hosted by Busy Philipps with guests Bess Wohl and Whitney White.

On this very special episode of the Moth Podcast we feature stories of women and their liberation. This episode is hosted by actress, author and mega-fan of the Tony-nominated play Liberation, Busy Philipps, and features a conversation with its Pulitzer-Prize-winning playwright Bess Wohl and Obie-winning director Whitney White. The three stories will take us from the middle of the ocean, to a nude spa in Santa Fe, to a rest stop in Texas… but all of them are about breaking free. About discovering yourself. Storytellers: Rescue swimmer Amanda Burrill is left by her ship during a drill, staying deep in the ocean unsure of when her crew would return. Jennifer Kohnhorst vacations at a fancy clothes-optional spa. On a road trip home, Victoria Nguyen is thrust into a dangerous situation.
