Listen, Watch, Read

During the first week of June 2015 I listened to The Moth podcast, attended The Moth Mainstage live in downtown Seattle, and read The Moth book. Since 2008, I’ve read the book once, attended three live shows, and listened to most of the podcast episodes. For good measure, I’ve also watched some performances on YouTube, read stories that show up online, and even caught the Moth Radio Hour on NPR (though not in that same week). There are some stories that I have listened to on my headphones, seen and heard performed live, watched recorded on YouTube, and also read. I’ve got a simple question:

Do I get more credit for reading The Moth book than I do for listening to those same stories live or on the podcast?

I dabble in writing, speaking, videos, and other stuff. Let’s talk more about all of that: Shoegnome on Facebook, Twitter, and the RSS feed. Did you read yesterday’s post? It talks about a related issue.
