Open to everyone, the Great Thanksgiving Listen is a national assignment to engage people of all ages in the act of listening. All that is needed to participate is a smartphone and the StoryCorps mobile app.

Users can simply download the app and use the built-in prompts to record and publish an interview. All interviews will be archived at the Library of Congress.
The Trust’s Daniel Ash recently sat down with StoryCorps founder David Isay to learn more. Whether you are a student participating through your U.S. history class or using the holiday as an opportunity to learn more about your family, StoryCorps hopes you’ll consider taking a little time over the Thanksgiving holiday to listen to, honor and preserve the wisdom of a generation.
