Basics

StoryCorps sends two trained Facilitators with professional equipment to the location of your choice to record six 40-minute interviews per day. We rely on the host organization to provide a quiet room and to schedule participant pairs in advance.

Participants leave with a copy of their interview on a CD and, with their permission, a copy is archived at the Library of Congress and considered for broadcast on NPR’s Morning Edition. The host organization receives a full archive of the audio and photos after the event.

We Provide

• Planning support
  You will receive materials to prepare your participants for their experience and guidance at every step of the planning process.
• Customization
  We will work around your schedule and location needs and customize interview questions for your specific theme or event.
• High-quality original content
  Digital copies of the full-length interviews and participant photographs are given to your organization to use, share, and preserve in creative ways.
