Mobile Stop: Tampa, FL

StoryCorps is partnering with WUSF to record, preserve, and share the stories of Tampa, Florida!

January 5 – February 12, 2022


StoryCorps is thrilled to announce that the Mobile Tour will be recording in Tampa, FL! For the first time ever, participants will have the option to record in-person or remotely in our “virtual recording booth.” Both options will be guided by one of our trained staff members.

Information on recording in-person:

  • Recordings will take place at the CAMLS (Center for Advanced Medical Learning & Simulation) in downtown Tampa
  • Both participants must be physically present for the recording
  • Due to safety considerations, participants must wear masks for the entirety of their appointment 
  • 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 participants 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.

Reservations to record will open for booking on December 13 at 10am! After that time, please click one of the buttons blow to select a spot.

More reservations will be released on January 6th. 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.
