A popular public radio program is opening up the recording studio for people to tell their stories.
On Thursday, March 18, people in the Big Peach can make their way to Public Broadcasting Atlanta - WABE 90.1 on your FM radio dial - to talk and be recorded.
Here's StoryCorps mission statement:
StoryCorps’ mission is to provide Americans of all backgrounds and beliefs with the opportunity to record, share and preserve their stories. Listen to stories at www.storycorps.org.

Here's what you can expect:
Step 1: Make a reservation
It’s easy to record an interview with someone important in your life. First, think of a person whose stories you would like to hear, or someone who might like to ask about yours, like a grandparent, sibling, or friend.
Step 2: Prepare for your session

Step 3: Tell your story, pass it on
Bring your friend or loved one to the StoryCorps recording facility. Our trained staff will explain the process, make you feel comfortable, and sit with you during your 40-minute session. At the end of your session, you’ll receive a free broadcast-quality CD to share with to family and friends, and a second copy will be archived at the Library of Congress.
