Have a good story to tell? WGVU is giving area residents the opportunity to share their everyday stories by hosting StoryCorps. StoryCorps is a national initiative to document the stories of Americans across the United States and will be making a stop here in Grand Rapids September 24.
How does it work? The StoryCorps MobileBooth is an Airstream trailer outfitted with a recording studio. Those participants wishing to share their stories can make a reservation during the MobileBooth's month long stay here in Grand Rapids. Once a reservation has been made, show up and record your story in the booth!
The trailer recording studio will be parked outside of the Public Museum. Reservations can be made from 10:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, or from 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays.
StoryCorps is looking to compile 120 interviews while here in Grand Rapids. StoryCorps has collected over 27,000 stories from all over the United States so far. A select number of interviews from Grand Rapids will be aired on WGVU's radio station.
Add your tale to the bunch by registering at storycorps.org or by phone at 800-850-4406.
