StoryCorps
StoryCorps® - About
StoryCorps is a national project to instruct and inspire people to record one another’s stories in sound.Our Vision
StoryCorps is modeled—in spirit and in scope—after the Works Progress Administration (WPA) of the 1930s, through which oral history interviews with everyday Americans across the country were recorded. These recordings remain the single most important collection of American voices gathered to date. We hope that StoryCorps will build and expand on that work, becoming a WPA for the 21st Century.
There are some awesome, random stories. Fun to listen to, especially because they are short clips of personal history.
