  • National Day of Listening  ( 4 items )
    StoryCorps: National Day of Listening

    Friday, November 28 was the first annual National Day of Listening - an initiative created by the independent nonprofit project StoryCorps to encourage, instruct, and inspire everyday people to start a new holiday tradition: sit down with a loved one on the day after Thanksgiving and record a meaningful conversation to preserve for years to come.

    National Day of Listening was created to give new meaning to the day after Thanksgiving, a day when many people are at home with family, but also traditionally a day of rushing around town. Setting aside an hour to look loved ones in the eyes and ask about their lives is one of the most meaningful moments you can share. The simple act of listening tells them how much they matter, and preserving that conversation on tape, CD, or with a pen and paper tells them they won't be forgotten. It's the greatest holiday gift you could ever give.
    Below are some conversations that KSMU staff members had with their family members. We hope you enjoy them!
