StoryCorps collects the stories of everyday people in sound. The concept is simple: you bring a friend or loved one to a soundproof StoryCorps booth and interview them for 40 minutes. With your permission, another CD goes to the Library of Congress where it becomes part of a permanent collection at the Library of Congress. 90.7 WMFE and 89.5 WMFV brought the StoryCorps MobileBooth to the Orlando Museum of Art in January 2019 to collect stories from our community. Here are some of our favorite stories.
