StoryCorps is a project to instruct and inspire people to record one another's stories in sound. You can interview your grandmother, your uncle, the lady who has worked at the luncheonette down the block for as long as you can remember - anyone whose story you want to hear and preserve.
StoryCorps celebrates our shared humanity and collective identity. It captures and defines the stories that bond us. The process of interviewing a friend, neighbor, or family member can have a profound impact on both the interviewer and the storyteller. People change, friendships grow, families walk away feeling closer and understanding each other better. Listening, after all, is an act of love.

My friend and I did this a couple months back. Think I may try to go once more while the booth is still in time.
Our interview didn't make it on the radio (and therefore isn't on the web site), but it was a lot of fun to do it. I'd definitely recommend visiting the StoryCorps booth if you're nearby.
