StoryCorps

A developing entry...

Discovered a couple of days ago, this is a longer-term US oral history project.

StoryCorps (SC) is a general site - one thing Val and I have been discussing is whether 100V is too specific but then we don't have the infrastructure to support a vehicle like SC - this is an ongoing debate.

SC have a 'National Day of Listening' which falls immediately after Thanksgiving and 'black Friday' (lots of shopping on this annual public holiday)

One thing that is interesting, mentioned on the radio, is that there's some ideas that americans are more likely to have a say in public than we, somewhat more reserved, UK citizens? I don't necessarily agree with such generalisations but they might have a point?
