StoryCorps' mission is to preserve and share humanity’s stories in order to build connections between people and create a more just and compassionate world.
We do this to remind one another of our shared humanity, to strengthen and build the connections between people, to teach the value of listening, and to weave into the fabric of our culture the understanding that everyone’s story matters. At the same time, we are creating an invaluable archive for future generations.
The StoryCorps Story of the Week Flash Briefing for Amazon Alexa is our first experiment in bringing great stories to you with this exciting new technology. We are also hard at work on a Skill for Alexa devices that will give you more control over browsing and exploring our collection.
And if you don't already have it, check out the StoryCorps App for iOS, Android and Kindle! It's a great way to explore conversations from people all over the US and the world. Download it today and use it to record a conversation with someone in your life and have it preserved forever in our growing archive at the United States Library of Congress.
