Today, StoryCorps is sponsoring its first National Day of Listening, an initiative that encourages people to record and preserve a conversation with someone important in their lives. (A do-it-yourself guide is available at www.nationaldayoflistening.org.)
"We live in a society where so many people feel like they don't matter," says Isay, 42. "And one of the underpinning ideas of StoryCorps is that every story matters."
So much of my life is spent telling stories. I tell them visually with storyboards at work, through writing and illustration in comics, and verbally with my friends and relatives. It's great to know that something like StoryCorps is around to remind us all of this gift of human interaction.
