StoryCorps & Listening to Your Family

Listen Thursday, Nov. 29, 2007 at 1:30 p.m. in Arts & Culture

For four years and through more than ten thousand interviews, StoryCorps has become the largest oral history project in American history. The idea: that everyone has an important story to tell. David Isay talks with Kojo about the evolution of the StoryCorps project, and how each of us can create a family legacy by documenting stories of joy and sadness, good times and hard times, and everything in between.
