 (StoryCorps)

StoryCorps has archived over 65,000 interviews of family and friends asking one another about everything from falling in love, to being a single mom, to fighting in combat. And this Thanksgiving weekend StoryCorps has a very ambitious goal for Thanksgiving weekend — to double that number. The organization has launched a new mobile app to make interviewing family members easier. Forum talks with StoryCorps founder Dave Isay to get some interviewing how-to’s and about the effort to preserve the stories of an entire generation over a single holiday weekend.

Guests:

Dave Isay, founder and president, StoryCorps
