StoryCorps — Stories from people of all backgrounds and beliefs
Stories of the human heart. A candid, unscripted conversation between two people about what's really important in life: love, loss, family, friendship. When the world seems out of hand, tune in to StoryCorps and be reminded of the things that matter most. [Text Source: StoryCorps]
StoryCorps is committed to the idea that everyone has an important story to tell and that everyone’s story matters. Since 2003, this remarkable project has been collecting the stories of everyday US-Americans and preserving them for future generations. In New York City and in mobile recording booths traveling the country — from small towns to big cities, at Native American reservations and an Army post — StoryCorps is collecting the memories of Americans from all ages, backgrounds, and walks of life. Since its founding, StoryCorps has helped nearly 700,000 people across the US have meaningful conversations about their lives. The project represents a wondrous celebration of shared humanity, capturing for posterity the stories that define people and bind them. These recordings are collected in the U.S. Library of Congress and in StoryCorps’ online archive which is now the largest single collection of human voices ever gathered. [Text Source: Penguin Press]
