The Great Thanksgiving Listen

This year, as we celebrate 20 years of the stories that matter, we have a number of opportunities to engage listeners in our work. Like us, you understand the act of listening has never been more important. That’s why, we will be calling individuals to participate in the annual Great Thanksgiving Listen — an initiative that invites people nationwide to honor someone in their lives by recording their story for future generations.

Participants can record an interview with someone in the same room using the free StoryCorps App or record with someone in a different location using our remote recording platform, StoryCorps Connect.

Additionally, we’ll be encouraging individuals to set aside time to listen to curated stories from our archives, as we highlight the many ways in which StoryCorps stories share hope, human potential, and truths from lived experiences of everyday people, and challenge stereotypes and incomplete narratives.
