Mark, Elvis, and Carlos interviewed Amy Tardif, Regional Manager at the StoryCorps StoryBooth in the Chicago Cultural Center.

The mission of StoryCorps is to preserve and share humanity’s stories in order to build connections between people and create a more just and compassionate world.

This basically means that when we listen to people tell stories about their lives, we can understand where they're coming from better -- even if they are different from us or we don't agree with them.

This interview was recorded at our school in 2019. Due to the COVID pandemic, the StoryBooth at the Chicago Cultural Center is closed at the time of release.

But you can sign up to record a conversation with a loved one remotely in their “virtual recording booth” with the help of someone from StoryCorps, who will guide you step-by-step.

On season 5 of Power Your Story, we are talking all about making podcasts. This episode covers interviewing, listening, and storytelling skills.
