When StoryCorps began in 2003, we didn't realize how often people would come talk about their moms in our recording booths. Their age didn't matter — that first, most intimate bond leaves an impression that most people never forget. Almost seven years and more than 30,000 interviews later, StoryCorps is still collecting interviews about moms and preserving them in the American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress. We're thrilled when people tell us that the 40 minutes they spend at StoryCorps were some of the most meaningful moments of their lives.
