StoryCorps is a media production organization based in Brooklyn, New York, founded in 2003 by Dave Isay. It records conversations across the United States, preserving them in the Library of Congress's American Folklife Center archive, the largest collection of human voices, and sharing selected stories through its podcast, NPR broadcasts, animated shorts, digital platforms, and books. StoryCorps operates the MobileBooth, a transformed Airstream trailer that travels across the country to collect stories, and it maintains permanent StoryBooths in Chicago and Atlanta. In 2026, the organization received two Webby Awards for its Hurricane Katrina podcast. Interviews are conducted with the help of a facilitator, typically lasting about 40 minutes, after which participants receive a copy and the digital file is sent to the Library of Congress for preservation.
