StoryCorps DIY returns to JUMP with a goal to record and preserve 1,000 stories of Idahoans like you.

After celebrating JUMP's ten-year anniversary, we are reflecting on that moment in time that JUMP came to be, and now, we are inviting the community to your stories bout a moment in the past that was meaningful, life altering, or holds a special place in your heart. These moments could be anniversaries, birthdays, a special date, a concert, a vacation, or a simple sweet memory.

Using our fully equipped podcast studio, Mark the Moment is an opportunity to ask someone you know about their life or share a memory together. For 45 minutes, the two of you can talk about a moment in time that you want to commemorate. You might ask questions like:

• Can you tell me about a moment when a person’s kindness made a difference in your life?

• Could you tell me about your wedding day?

• Will you share the story of my birth?

At the end of your conversation, you’ll receive a free recording to share with family and friends. With your permission, a copy will be preserved in the StoryCorps archive and the Library of Congress.

Mark the Moment at JUMP is an audio project only—no video will be taken.

TAKEAWAYS:

• Audio File on a thumb drive

ADDITIONAL INFO:

• StoryCorps sessions are typically two person interviews. Participants come with a companion. One will be the interviewer, and one will be the interviewee, or you may interview each other. It is possible, but uncommon, to have 3-4 people in the booth for an interview. 

• There is no host; StoryCorps enables participants to interview or be interviewed by someone they know.

• Participants have 1 hour in the studio. The first 15 minutes will consist of an orientation and mic check. The remaining 45 minutes are yours. 

• Interview participants must be 13 years of age or older. 

• Upon making a reservation, participants will receive a confirmation email with details, helpful documents, directions, and other necessary information.
