Creative & Production Partner, Seasons 2 & 3
Every house is haunted. In each episode of “Family Ghosts,” we investigate the true story behind a mysterious figure whose legend has followed a family for generations.
Grandmothers who were secretly jewel smugglers, uncles who led double lives, siblings who vanished without a trace…these specters cast shadows over our lives in ways that might not be immediately obvious. But we are all formed in part by our familial collections of secrets, intrigues, and myths. By engaging with each others’ legends, perhaps we can see each others’ realities more clearly.
Created, produced and hosted by Moth Grand Slam winner Sam Dingman, whose stories have been featured on Risk!, TBTL, Benjamen Walker’s Theory of Everything, and The Moth Radio Hour. Sam was a producer for WNYC’s On the Media, senior editor of You Must Remember This, and the founding producer of Bad With Money With Gaby Dunn.
