One of our listeners sent us an e-mail that captured our goal for the stories we tell: "Thanks for finding the ordinary us and putting our stories out there."
Our goal is to find people whose lives are intersecting with significant issues in the news and give them the opportunity to tell their story.
At a time when "celebrity rules" and the only "ordinary" people we see are faces in the crowd, The Story reminds listeners that their stories and their lives matter. We believe that by creating a space for first person stories we are choosing not to accept a pollster's version of our thoughts and attitudes.
We've learned that hearing directly from people about their experiences can transform our understanding of what's happening in the world.
