StoryCorps: Listening is an Act of Love

The first-ever animated feature from StoryCorps celebrates the transformative power of listening. Listening Is an Act of Love: A StoryCorps Special presents six stories from 10 years of the innovative oral history project, where everyday people sit down together to ask life’s important questions. Framing these intimate conversations from across the country is an interview between StoryCorps founder Dave Isay and his nine-year-old nephew, Benji, animated in the inimitable style of The Rauch Brothers. “If you pay just a little attention, you’ll find wisdom and poetry in their words.”

StoryCorps has a wonderful archive, a podcast, an app for you to create your own interviews, and a great list of questions. Whether you want to record the answers or not, these questions will let you start some unforgettable conversations with your family.
