New Book Offers Interviews From The StoryCorps Project

The StoryCorps project is brilliant in its simplicity. Two people enter a recording booth and they interview each other about their lives. The stories that emerge from that booth are extraordinary...powerful, emotional and profound.

Listeners to Morning Edition on KCPW know they can hear some of those interviews every Friday morning. Now, a selection of those stories has made their way to the printed page in a new book, Listening Is an Act of Love.

Dave Isay is the mastermind behind StoryCorps and the book. He tells KCPW's Bryan Schott that the project, and now the book, is helping us understand ourselves as Americans.
