*Radio Diaries*

"Instead of the usual, dull interviews with celebrities, the work of interviewing ordinary people—those who live in your neighborhood, older members of your family—is terribly exciting and rewarding. With a tape recorder and microphone, young interviewers are able to capture the unofficial, unrecorded history of our daily lives. This Teen Reporter Handbook is a wonderful guide to doing that work."
—Studs Terkel, Writer and Oral Historian

We are a non-profit organization, so our funding comes from an assortment of foundations. These are among our generous supporters:

Do you have old family tapes hiding in the attic?
We're always on the lookout for old tapes: taped love letters, recorded messages from soldiers in the war, funny or interesting family cassettes. How about home movies—family history captured in sound? Even written diaries or old letters. Anything that tells a story.

Please email your suggestions.
