StoryCorps’ initiatives have long helped us gather voices that are usually omitted from the historical record, like our LGBTQ+ Outloud initiative. In our continuing celebration of twenty years of StoryCorps, we’re sharing some of our favorite recordings from that collection… and how a story close to our founder Dave Isay’s heart helped lead to its creation.
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.
As we celebrate StoryCorps’ 20th anniversary, we bring you the story of a man who integrated his high school as a teenager in Knoxville, Tennessee, and how a StoryCorps listener comment helped him reckon with his past five decades later.
In the third episode of our special series celebrating two decades of StoryCorps, we’re bringing you inside the Mobile Booth—the recording studio we built in a trailer to circle the country, capturing voices that would otherwise never be recorded. Hear some of our favorite stories from the road, and from the people who haul the trailer on a never-ending road trip.
