MORE DETAILS:

 
● People interested in taking part in a One Small Step conversation should fill out our Questionnaire for potential participants. The responses help our team to pair people together to facilitate the best conversation possible.

 
● If you’re paired, station staff will reach out to each participant to set up a mutually convenient time for the One Small Step conversation. We will also share information to help both participants think about their questions for each other and feel prepared.

 
● You can take part in a StoryCorps conversation “virtually,” on a computer. Requirements: a reliable internet connection, and a computer with a video camera and a microphone. For “virtual” One Small Step recordings, the producer will do a short “tech check” with each participant a day or two before the recording appointment.

 
● During your One Small Step appointment, a facilitator will share some brief “paperwork” and explain how the recording will happen. Once recording begins, the facilitator will help start the conversation with 1-3 kick-off questions. After that, participants drive the conversation with questions of their own.

 
● The recording lasts about 40 minutes. The whole process takes 60-75 minutes.

 
● Each participant will receive a digital copy of the recording.

 
● If both participants choose, the recording is also preserved in the StoryCorps collection at the Library of Congress in Washington, DC.

 
● Some recordings, with participants’ permission, will be edited and broadcast on the radio.

 
● Recordings start in July and continue through November 2020.
