Just thought I'd post a cool project I've been helping with at our church. If you aren't familiar with StoryCorps, they describe themselves as such:
StoryCorps is an independent nonprofit project whose mission is to honor and celebrate one another’s lives through listening.
By recording the stories of our lives with the people we care about, we experience our history, hopes, and humanity. Since 2003, tens of thousands of everyday people have interviewed family and friends through StoryCorps. Each conversation is recorded on a free CD to take home and share, and is archived for generations to come at the Library of Congress. Millions listen to our award-winning broadcasts on public radio and the Internet. StoryCorps is the largest oral history project of its kind, creating a growing portrait of who we really are as Americans.
It's an amazing project and something we wanted to duplicate with our church. My role was to help write and provide the narration for the project, that is, I was the talent. What really made this come together, though, was the incredible editing job that Justin Geoghegan did. So, without further ado, here are the tracks to the CD we created. (If you listen to only one, I'd go with #7.)
