StoryCorps: Remembrance Stories

TUESDAYS SEPTEMBER 1ST-DECEMBER 29TH |3-6 PM | PLAY STUDIO | Ages 13+ | FREE  

JUMP has launched the first official StoryCorps program in Idaho through our PLAY Studio, with the help of Boise State Public Radio.

Remembrance Stories invites you to record your story in our fully equipped podcast suite and preserve the stories of our community for generations to come. 

StoryCorps is a nationally recognized independent nonprofit, sharing stories with the public through podcasts, animated shorts, digital platforms, and best-selling books, even sharing stories weekly on NPR to over 12 million listeners. They believe everyone has an important story to tell and everyone’s story matters. Their mission: to help us believe in each other by illuminating the humanity and possibility in us all — one story at a time.  

Come share a story or two about a loved one who is no longer with us. 

At the end of the session, participants receive a free recording to share with family and friends. With permission, a copy will be preserved in the StoryCorps archive and the Library of Congress. Remembrance Stories is an audio project only; no video will be taken.

RESERVATIONS REQUIRED. RESERVE YOUR SPACE.

Weekly Recording Times:

Every Tuesday:
3:00 PM
4:00 PM

If Tuesdays are tricky we can find another time. Reach out to paul.johnson@jumpboise.org and he will work with you to find a time that works.

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 45 minutes in the studio. 

• 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.
