I have been listening to a podcast features recordings from StoryCorps. It is dedicated to preserving the oral history of everyday people, and giving the spotlight to someone not named Paris Hilton or Lindsey Lohan. It is an interview booth the records conversations between two people who are usually (but not always) related to each other. One copy of the interview is sent home with the interview subjects, the other copy is sent to the library of Congress for preservation. Some of the stories are just ripping my heart out. There was a tale of an elderly couple who never stopped professing their love for each other. The last recording from the husband was recorded one week before his death from cancer and how his only wish is for just one more day with his wife. Another story features a mother who lost her son in the World Trade Center attacks, and how just the night before his death she had one of her happiest nights ever with him yet 12 hours later he was gone. Their stories have me on the verge of tears here at work, and I am so greatful for having listened to the story segments.

The booths are currently circling the country, and if they come to Manhattan (or the area), I would love the chance to recored a session. Having something like this to pass down through generations is grately appealing to me.
