Illuminating the humanity and possibility in us all—one story at a time.
About us
Founded in 2003 by Dave Isay, StoryCorps has given people of all backgrounds and beliefs, in thousands of towns and cities in all 50 states, the chance to record interviews about their lives. The organization preserves the recordings in its archive at the American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress, the largest single collection of human voices ever gathered, and shares select stories with the public through StoryCorps’ podcast, NPR broadcasts, animated shorts, digital platforms, and best-selling books. These powerful human stories reflect the vast range of American experiences, wisdom and values; engender empathy and connection; and remind us how much more we have in common than what divides us. StoryCorps is especially committed to capturing and amplifying voices least heard in the media. The StoryCorps MobileBooth, an Airstream trailer the organization has transformed into a traveling recording booth, crisscrosses the country year-round in order to gather the stories of people nationwide. With the 2015 TED Prize awarded to Dave Isay, StoryCorps launched a free mobile app that puts the StoryCorps experience entirely in the hands of users and enables anyone, anywhere to record meaningful conversations with another person and upload the audio to the Library of Congress. StoryCorps also records interviews in its permanent StoryBooths located in Chicago and Atlanta. Recording an interview in a StoryCorps booth couldn’t be easier: You invite a loved one, or anyone else you choose, to a StoryCorps recording site. There you’re met by a trained facilitator who explains the interview process, brings you into a quiet recording room and seats you across from your interview partner, each of you in front of a microphone. The facilitator hits “record,” and you share a 40-minute conversation. At the end of the session, you walk away with a copy of the interview, and a digital file goes to the Library of Congress, where it will be preserved for generations to come.

StoryCorps and Vanderbilt University are partnering to bring our One Small Step (OSS) initiative to the campus, as a component of Dialogue Vanderbilt, in an effort to engage students and faculty to bridge divides one conversation at a time. OSS brings people with different views together to record a conversation — not to debate politics — but simply to get to know each other as people. Students across the political spectrum on Vanderbilt’s campus have already begun to participate in OSS conversations. Read more about the partnership: https://lnkd.in/eJm8RJpq

Today’s read: a feature on the national launch of our One Small Step (OSS) initiative in The New York Times → https://lnkd.in/edDhtqpB During this contentious election season, OSS counters toxic polarization by allowing us to rediscover our shared humanity through conversation. By talking to a stranger with different political beliefs—not debating politics—we get to know each other as neighbors and fellow Americans. If you haven’t had a conversation yet, please sign up at: takeonesmallstep.org. Together, let’s bring our country together—one conversation at a time.
A Republican and a Democrat Sit Across From Each Other. There’s No Punchline.
