This coming Spring (March 23rd through May 2nd), KCPW Public Radio will bring StoryCorps, a much sought after National Public Radio program, to Salt Lake City. StoryCorps offers people in our community a chance to record their personal stories and become part of American history, both at the Library of Congress and, for some storytellers, through broadcasts both here on KCPW, and nationally on NPR.
Sponsors, partners, interns, and volunteers are vital to the success of a StoryCorps visit. To find out how your organization or business can help KCPW bring StoryCorps to our community, please contact Andrea Ashbridge, aashbridge@kcpw.org, (801) 359-5279 ext.200
