This Friday, when you’re gathered with friends and family trying to figure out what to do with yourselves after that meal, consider participating in the National Day of Listening. It’s an opportunity to hear and record the stories that we all have to share about our lives, our greatest and hardest moments, and the lessons we’ve learned. (And as some have noted recently in Richmond, the local community could benefit from having a better sense of our own narrative.)
All it takes is some kind of simple audio recording device, a good list of questions to get you started, and some time. And it’s a part of the larger oral history project that is StoryCorps, so there are some neat opportunities to share what you capture with a wider audience, if you want.
If you’re in the Richmond area and want to send me some of what you record, I’ll consider putting it together into an episode of the Richmond News Review podcast.
Have something to say about that? Read and add comments below.
