KERA’s “Think” had a great show yesterday with StoryCorps founder Dave Isay.
The StoryCorps project records American stories from all walks of lives by inviting individuals to bring a family member to the booth and spend 40 minutes interviewing them.
Once the session is over, the participants receive a copy of the interview and one copy is sent to the Library of Congress for safe keeping so generations to come can listen and learn from the stories.
From Think:
StoryCorps, the revolutionary project to record American stories, is visiting North Texas and we want you to participate. We’ll spend this hour with StoryCorps founder and MacArthur Fellow, Dave Isay. We’ll also hear a few of the remarkable stories the project has collected since its inception in 2003.

Such a great idea. If you’re in the Dallas/Fort Worth area I’d really recommend trying to get a family member to join you during a StoryCorps interview.
Or read the DIY Guide and record stories for your own family.
