Ten Minutes With StoryCorps Founder Dave Isay

Harvey Wang

This year marks a decade of StoryCorps, which offers people the chance to record, preserve and share stories at sites around the country. The project has collected more than 45,000 interviews from nearly 90,000 participants. 

The recordings are also given to the Library of Congress, and a weekly segment airs on NPR's Morning Edition. StoryCorps founder Dave Isay tells Mike Foley how it all came together.

Mike Foley joined WCBE in February 2000, coming from WUFT in Gainesville, Florida. Foley has worked in various roles, from producing news and feature stories to engineering Live From Studio A sessions. A series of music features Foley started in 2018 called Music Journeys has grown into a podcast and radio show. He also assists in developing other programs in WCBE's Podcast Experience. Foley hosts The Morning Mix, a weekday music show featuring emerging and established musicians, our Columbus-area and Ohio-based talent, and additional artists that inspire him.
