You may have heard of StoryCorps. Founded by radio producer David Isay, its “mission is to preserve and share humanity’s stories in order to build connections between people and create a more just and compassionate world.” The project started in 2003, born out of Sound Portraits Productions, and has since recorded the stories of more than half a million people. These pieces have aired on NPR and some have been animated and aired as fillers on PBS stations. I know we’ve utilized them for years and they can be hilarious and heartwarming and powerful and emotional and everything you want good stories to be.
A while back, I came across this poster StoryCorps apparently sent to member stations to remind them of the availability of these animated offerings. I keep it pinned to a board in my office.
