Make History this Thanksgiving with Boise State Public Radio and StoryCorpsSince 2003, StoryCorps has given more than 100,000 Americans a quiet booth and a facilitator to record meaningful conversations with one another about who they are, what they’ve learned in life, and how they want to be remembered. This November, the pioneering oral history project is partnering with NPR and Boise State Public Radio to launch its most ambitious initiative to date:
The Great Thanksgiving Listen is a national assignment to engage people of all ages in the act of listening. Download the new StoryCorps App and interview an elder, family member or friend. In one holiday weekend, we will preserve the stories of an entire generation.
Let’s preserve your family stories long after the pumpkin pie is gone.The new StoryCorps app allows anyone to record and submit stories to StoryCorps. The app also provides useful tips for preparing and conducting interviews. These stories will be submitted to StoryCorps and archived at the Folk Life Center at the Library of Congress. You can
