StoryCorps to roll through June 7-30
Posted by Scott Shoger @scottshoger on Fri, May 18, 2012 at 2:03 PM
Interviews are conducted by two people who "know and care about each other," with a trained facilitator helping participants through the 40-minute process. Participants receive a complimentary CD, with the option to have a second CD archived at the American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress. WFYI plans to create special programming using the interviews, some of which may also end up airing in the NPR's national morning show, Morning Edition.
To get a sense of what's StoryCorps is up to (if you're not already familiar with the Morning Edition segments, listen to a selection of interview excerpts at the StoryCorps site, or take a look at the animated short below, one of several that can be seen at storycorps.org.
