Moth Hotel is not a podcast in the usual sense. It’s a weekly transmission from an unidentified audio source: a collage of lost interviews, voicemails, overheard stories, abandoned monologues, forgotten broadcasts, and fractured conversations stitched together like audio driftwood. Every episode sounds like it’s falling apart in a different way. Punchlines interrupt themselves, voices glitch into silence, time loops, and meaning drifts out of reach. Brian Luff is an award-winning content creator, and Moth Hotel is his masterpiece. Deadpan, surreal, disorientating, and hauntingly funny, Moth Hotel is an addictive, guilty pleasure that feels like stumbling into a secret frequency you were never meant to find on the radio dial. Here's the official trailer.
