StoryCorps - The Conversation of a Lifetime

What is it? From their website:

StoryCorps is an independent nonprofit whose mission is to provide Americans of all backgrounds and beliefs with the opportunity to record, share, and preserve the stories of our lives. Since 2003, StoryCorps has collected and archived more than 30,000 interviews from more than 60,000 participants. Each conversation is recorded on a free CD to share, and is preserved at the American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress. StoryCorps is one of the largest oral history projects of its kind, and millions listen to our weekly broadcasts on NPR’s Morning Edition and on our Listen pages.


Set aside a few moments by yourself to have a listen to Danny and Annie's story.

(Have a tissue ready. I was a mess.)

Dave Isay wrote a book called Listening is an Act of Love, based on stories from StoryCorps. Here is the book launch (and the address at the end should be storycorps.org):
