NPR's Storycorps Project

Larry talks with NPR's StoryCorps project founder Dave Isay about the project and how it began with the idea that "everyone has an important story to tell." Isay's new book Listening Is an Act of Love is a collection of stories drawn from the National StoryCorps Project, the largest, most ambitious oral history project in American history. He joins Larry Mantle to talk about why our individual stories matter and why our oral tradition is so important in defining our national identity.
