StoryCorps South Texas
Fridays at 4:45 p.m., Saturdays at 8:35 a.m.
StoryCorps South Texas presents the oral histories of our community. Recorded at the StoryCorps mobile booth and in the TPR studios, each story is archived at the Library of Congress, and select interviews are broadcast on TPR News stations.
About StoryCorps: StoryCorps’ mission is to provide people of all backgrounds and beliefs with the opportunity to record, share and preserve the stories of our lives. We do this to remind one another of our shared humanity, to strengthen and build the connections between people, to teach the value of listening, and to weave into the fabric of our culture the understanding that everyone’s story matters. At the same time, we are creating an invaluable archive for future generations.
