As we close out our special series celebrating 20 years of StoryCorps, hear how our One Small Step initiative is helping to facilitate our national conversation by bringing people together from across the political spectrum.
Mary Johnson-Roy first came to StoryCorps in 2011 to speak with Oshea Israel, the man who murdered her son. In the latest episode from our special series celebrating StoryCorps’ 20th anniversary, we’ll share updates on a conversation none of us imagined would happen back when StoryCorps started.
StoryCorps’ initiatives have long helped us gather voices that are usually omitted from the historical record, like our LGBTQ+ Outloud initiative.

For most of StoryCorps’ existence, we’ve recorded people in person at our storybooths. But on this episode of our special series celebrating 20 years of StoryCorps, we’re looking back to times we stepped outside the recording booth to capture stories we’d never hear otherwise. Sometimes because we wanted to hear new voices… and sometimes because we had to.
