StoryCorps closes its booth at Grand Central
Mark K May 24th, 2008
StoryCorps recently closed down their recording booth at New York’s Grand Central station. It had been open for nearly five years and more than 5000 interviews had been recorded there. I feel honored that due to a fortunate set of circumstances and a little persistence on my part, I was able to record an interview there during the last days when the booth was in operation.
StoryCorps plans to find a new home for the booth and has several other booths in operation, including another one in New York’s Foley square, so there are still plenty of ways to participate in the interviewing process.
StoryCorps gave me a taste for the interview and editing process and I love their concept that everyone has a story to tell. With that in mind, I have purchased a digital recorder and begun doing interviews. I’m working on the editing of my first piece and plan to post it as a podcast soon, right here on PauseforPurpose.
