StoryCorps has declared Friday, November 28, the National Day of Listening--a day to simply sit down and listen to a loved one tell his or her story. We’ve been sharing some of our own family interviews on the air. Today, we hear from one of our behind-the-scenes staff members here at KSMU, John McMellen.
Again, as part of StoryCorps’ National Day of Listening, we invite you to take a few moments today to record a conversation of your own with a loved one. And remember, everyone has a story to tell.
