StoryCorps, which is a non-profit dedicated to recording, preserving, and sharing the stories of people from all backgrounds, hits the road this month with its MobileBooth—an Airstream trailer converted into a mobile recording studio.
This year’s Mobile Tour began on January 5 in Tampa, and will visit a total of 10 U.S. cities this year, partnering with local radio stations to help spread the word and invite local community members to record conversations.
Since 2005, the StoryCorps Mobile Tour has facilitated tens of thousands of conversations between people who know each other. Each year, StoryCorps’ MobileBooth crisscrosses the country to record residents in 10 cities and towns nationwide.
In addition to local radio stations, StoryCorps partners with cultural institutions and community-based organizations to help spread the word in their region.
“In its travels to communities across America, the Mobile Tour honors our nation’s stories and reminds us of the beauty, poetry and grace in the voices of everyday people that are hiding in plain sight all around us,” said StoryCorps Founder and President Dave Isay. “During these challenging times, the value of preserving these stories—and strengthening connections between people who may feel physically isolated—is more important than ever.”
