StoryCorps has arrived

WYSO plays host to StoryCorps for three weeks to help record local stories

StoryCorps, a national nonprofit organization dedicated to recording, preserving, and sharing the stories of Americans with all backgrounds and beliefs, has arrived in Dayton. By special arrangement with Dayton's Victoria Theatre Association and the Arts Center Foundation, StoryCorps' MobileBooth - an Airstream trailer outfitted with a recording studio – is now parked on the James H. McGee Plaza in front of the Benjamin & Marian Schuster Performing Arts Center at the corner of Second & Main Streets in downtown Dayton. Interviews are set to start on Thursday, April 22 at 10:30 a.m.

Most of the StoryCorps interview slots have been reserved, but reservations for remaining slots will be available to the public on Friday, April 23 and can be made by calling StoryCorps’ toll-free reservation line at 1-800-850-4406 or visiting storycorps.org.
