About the Podcast

StoryCorps, the nation’s largest oral history project, provides Americans of all backgrounds and beliefs the opportunity to record, share and preserve their stories by recording high-quality interviews between friends or family. StoryCorps’ mission is to preserve and share humanity’s stories in order to build connections between people and create a more just and compassionate world. We do this to remind one another of our shared humanity, to strengthen and build the connections between people, to teach the value of listening, and to weave into the fabric of our culture the understanding that everyone’s story matters. At the same time, we are creating an invaluable archive for future generations. <hr> For example - in honor of the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall riots - StoryCorps’ 2019 spring podcast season featured stories of love, friendship, courage, and resilience from the LGBTQ community. <hr> As the largest oral history project in American history, StoryCorps provides Americans of all backgrounds and beliefs the opportunity to record, share and preserve their stories in sound. More than 500,000 people have recorded conversations in StoryCorps recording booths in cities nationwide and through the StoryCorps mobile app.
