Mobile Stop: Colorado Springs, CO

StoryCorps is partnering with CPR and KRCC to record, preserve, and share the stories of Colorado Springs, CO!

June 1- June 28, 2023


StoryCorps is thrilled to announce that the Mobile Tour will be recording the stories of Colorado Springs, CO! Mobile Tour participants will have the option to record with us in-person in our mobile airstream or remotely in our “virtual recording booth.” Both options will be guided by one of our trained staff members.

Information on recording in Colorado Springs

In-person recordings:

  • In-person recordings will take place in our mobile airstream at the Plaza of the Rockies
  • Both participants must be physically present for the recording.
  • Depending on COVID-19 transmission levels in the community, participants might be asked to wear a mask during their recording. Our team will give more information and updates on this policy during the confirmation process.
  • Participants must maintain social distancing from StoryCorps staff during the entirety of their recording. Participants can also opt to maintain social distancing from their conversation partner but will not be required to do so.

Click here for more information on what StoryCorps is doing to keep you and our staff safe.

Information on recording virtually:

  • Recordings can take place anywhere, as long as one participant lives in the region and both have access to an internet connected device.
  • Participants can be in the same location while recording or in different locations.
  • A tech check, which will test the ability of your device to connect to the virtual recording booth, will be required prior to your recording appointment.

Before making your reservation, check in with your conversation partner to figure out which option works best for the two of you. Please have their contact information ready when you book. If either of you are not fully vaccinated, we request that you select the virtual recording option.

The first half of appointments for recording slots will be available at 10am MT on May 18th! 

More appointments will be made available on June 2nd. Due to high demand and a limited number of appointments, we ask you to please limit bookings to one reservation per person/household. If all spots are booked, please add yourself to our waitlist.

 

What to Expect

StoryCorps’ Mobile team will contact everyone who will be participating to go over the details of the recording process and answer any questions. If you are recording virtually, we will also do a tech check with you a few days prior to your appointment. Please be on the lookout for a phone call from us with the area code (646).

You will not be allowed to participate without confirming by phone.

Become a Community Partner

Our goal is to make the StoryCorps recording experience accessible to all. One way we do that is by partnering with local organizations that serve diverse populations. StoryCorps interviews celebrate the voices and milestones in your community and encourage meaningful interactions between your organization and the people you serve. Community partnerships are free of charge, and conversations can be recorded in any language.
