"StoryCorps has recorded thousands of conversations..." Then WHY are there only 24 videos on this channel?! Seriously, I would watch every last one. These stories are great and they make enrich my life.
They're*
Cuz they don't make every single conversation into a video
There’s an app with stories and I think you can hear them.
@@bobtheball5384 Your correction is wrong. OP used the right form of "there".
@@StoutShako
Oh shit you right...
*Why did it take 2 years for someone to correct me?*
Miss Devine the BEST STORY EVER!!!!!!
I’m not crying you’re crying...
That laugh at the liqor part always gets me
Anna Tullison no one asked

Yes ennnnnDEED
2:43 I found a old video recorder and a few tapes so I watched a few with my mom and she started crying because her grandmother was on it (she loves her grandmother probably more than her own mother) and she told me " I wasn't ready to hear that voice until heaven"so that's my story of how sentimental a type can be
i was never able to speak to my grandparents because of a language barrier between us, but because of this I am going to try to learn russian so that I can ask my grandma everything i can
Ra Usti good luck! :)
How is it going?
How's the language so far?
thats so amazing! i just realized this comments 5 years old, did you do it? i know learning a language is super hard im tryna learn spanish also. i hope you accomplished it :) have a nice day
The story of the Chen family brought tears to my eyes. These are great!
This was a really heartwarming. People with different stories. Different worlds that we don't see; but it's heartbreaking when you consider that so many of these stories never seem to reach the ear of the world as a whole, which only strengthens the sentiment that "Listening is Golden".
Listening does mean a lot. I knew an old hippie, who'd always have a story. He would mention something, and I'd be like, "yeah, what about that thing?" And his face would light up, and he'd be so happy to talk about it... best part is, I got a good story out of it, and I love stories, so we both won. Now I know about his first concert (it was KISS when he was 17) and his first love, and he got to tell me all about it!
Well, some just poured onion juice all around me. :wipes away tears:
These are beautiful.
R.I.P Kay the real G, Kay love you
It's true. We really should slow down and listen a little more. TIme is precious, but not in the way most think.
The last story had to have been my all time favorite.
If storycorps didn’t exist I wouldn’t be the person I am today! THEY ARE THE REASON I HAVE FRIENDS!!!!
I still just love that quote
"who made you? God. Where is God? EVERYWHERE!"
if everyone stopped and listened for a second
who or what would they listen to?

You can't only listen you need to TALK
I felt like God just open my eyes to life in so many different ways through this... cool
YodaWithASoda wth is wrong with you

These people are some of the best people on the planet! You guys have my infinite respect for spreading such a positive message. If your ever around Chicago, I'd love to be on the listening end of one of these interviews!
It took me awhile to find StoryCorps....after seeing...two on TV...
I grew up in NYC....and Grand Central was like home :)
Tears are always a part of watching these mini stories...
Thank you...for 'all' involved in making these ... : )
I had tears rolling down my cheeks the whole time. Love them, like every single one of them.
i was thinking the same thing! Because our grandparents were alive during the wars and the Japanese and British invasion, the stories were very intense but filled with beautiful sweet moments. . and man could my Grandma tell a story..
I always start crying when Kay Wang's son talks about his mother and you can hear the tears in this voice. ;-;
I broke down in the middle of video because the finally, fully hit me that all my grandparents have passed away. I have autism, so emotions are sometimes difficult and it can take a while for certain, major events in my life to fully catch up to me. This was the event that caused this realization to come crashing down. I miss them so much...
I am absolutely going to watch more. These stories are so straight-from-the-heart and I cannot help but smile while watching them.
These are so beautiful and inspirational. I'm going to take advantage of this holiday season and listen a little more to my family when we get together.
listening to these reminds me of my father, and it makes me think about how he would see me now. and i can't stop crying. may he rest in peace.
I love the Miss Divine story. If you have ever lived in a small southern town, you know a black woman like Miss Divine.
WOW! I'm just so happy I came across this....what a wonderful idea! Very sweet!
Brings me to tear, and it always make me think about my grandmother, my parents and my grandparents. So much memories.
This is just the BEST story ever. Miss Devine - Love it! Rrrrrrrrotten mangoes that smelled like liquor. lol.....
I have a 4 track tape recoding of my relitves and still do. 1950 60 and 70 its good to listen to yourself when i was a baby and 10 11 years old
Thank You, this lifts my heart up! 😢
I wish StoryCorps would come to Alaska.
I've always enjoyed listening your stories and watching them come to life in animation. It always leaves me wanting more, like something similar to a series. Thankyou for creating a project/ program like this. I hope that maybe one day this'll become a global program.
I wish I could do something like this in Malaysia. I'm sure there are so many stories that can be shared. I grew up listening to my Grandma tell me stories of her life as well as my family's lives. Storytelling and sharing stories. They are the best!
Eddie's story really hit close home... My dad is struggling with alcoholism and the thing he always tells me is that I have to better than him when I grow old, and me about to go to college, I always get to see him smile when I leave our home.
I wasn't ready for all these feels. I didn't even have a tissue box.
Absolutely brilliant! Every story was inspiring. Obviously I'm late to this party but just wanted to say thanks!
Amazing. Never stop getting these stories from people... it's such a precious piece of life.
Where have these videos been in my life, and why am I just finding these
Storycorps. You have brought me so much happiness since I was introduced to your work. I am eternally grateful to you. I am a high functioning autistic who gets deeply sad more than I'd like to admit. But when I watch your video's I feel proud to be a part of the human race. Thank you x
I look forward to these videos every time I open up RUclips.
I got freaking excited when you showed what the interviewees actually looked like!
I would love it if my life was just driving around and recording people's stories
This is so beautiful, It always brings a smile to my face everytime I watch a Story Corps video, thank you for all your hard work, from Caracas, Venezuela
This channel proved to me that the best stories don't have to have superhuman powers, magic, or action in every moment like in fictional novels, but the thoughts and memories of the people around us.
Absolutely love these, honestly I wish storycorps was local I love to talk about my father. Truly a beautiful thing
StoryCorps sometimes brings me back to the good times?
Hard to explain. It just really brings me back to the image of America I knew in 2005, when I was 5-6 years old.
I remember feeling a security watching things on PBS like Arthur, Sesame Street or Curious George.
It's like the world goes wrong a little bit but it's always fine in the end and it ends softly, (well at least some episodes here)
or a simple message which shows the effect on others.. it just feels precious? It can feel the oxytocin flowing in me.
Nowadays I'm more into really demented documentaries, have dark humor and have attachment issues, but what I really desire is people and their stories and just to get out of my disasociation.
What StoryCorps is doing so amazing, it makes me laugh or cry when I listen to these real stories. Thank You!
The human connection is Amazing ..the laughter the tears the triumphs and failures makes us who we are ..Human ..tfs this heartwarming stories ..reminds us that we should make every moment count ..
Yes, one incredible gift for this Thanksgiving!
These storys are amazing they make my cry all kinds of ways thank you for making them.
I'm in the middle of a very emotional storycorps session, but tomorrow, I'm going to ask my grandpa to share some stories with me. I want to know what his life was like when he grew up. If I never ask him these stories will never go on. Personal histories are so compelling and so much more important than we know.
Funny, Sad, everyone has a story to tell. Thanks Story Corps!
I just came across this channel earlier today and spent the better half of the day watching these videos. I honestly love them and give me a bit more faith in humanity and show that there is kindness in people.
Storycorps and A Fault In Our Stars make me cry every single time.
Netflix needs to pick this up and do as show....I would love to see these weekly.
Love these, I could watch a whole hour or two of these stories, very heart warming.
Every voice matters. Loving the line!
Please, please as a favor to me.watch this entire episode. We ALL need this message in this cold and mean time we live in. Consider it a gift to me. I love you all!
I always cry when I listen to StoryCorps you guys are actually my favorites.
This was heartwarming 10/10👍
I absolutely love Story Corps...this needs to come to Utah!
OMG !!! THANKS FOR THE STORIES !!!! LOVE THEM !!!!! HELLO FROM CONROE, TEXAS !!!
What's interesting is that I watched all of these stories separately before watching this compilation (this comment was posted in 2018 for anyone confused), and it almost felt nostalgic seeing the figures in those videos walk into the StoryCorps trailer and take their seats.
Thank you with so many "avenues".. I want to hear more from you.
Well, I knew they had the StoryCorps PBS Special, but really thankful you place it on RUclips! Great job! :)
We need another one of these. This is so beautiful.
It really is true. Ever since I was little I loved talking to my family members. I found out the most interesting things. Maybe one day I'll be on this channel. My family is pretty cool. :03
Worth every minute
I feel so many things watching this. Thank you guys so much!
God i swear there's some story out here what makes my tears flow free..
The alcoholic story was tough and inspiring. As a former alcoholic, who definitely inherited it genetically, I would be devastated if I had a child that succumbed to the same fate. Thank goodness Eddie was there for David when he needed someone.
I don't think anyone could have said that better.
Please make a kickstarter out of this and make more stories.
Its good to hear the stories of everyday people. We get to see how we all go through problems in our lives and how we try to overcome them.
Thank you storycorps and thank you all the people that share their stories. It is so nice to see something shares the human experience and sees people and individuals for who they are. Especially when there is so much that dehumanizes people now a days.
I want you guys the come to New York, these stories are very inspirational and I would love to share
Thank you Story Corp, I LOVE these. I can't explain it... They just feel like home.
Bless the animator of these forreal. I hope they're having as nice day !
I wish StoryCorps would come to Mississippi. I’d love to record my story for them. I found this channel last week and been on a tear just binging all their videos.
OMG! This was WAAAYY better than I imagined it to be! I'm sharing this all over Facebook! You guys rock!
This is such a wonderful and beautiful gift to the world! Listening truly is an act of love.
I've been binging your guys' videos and each and every story has warmed my heart. Keep up the amazing work and art!!!
Eddie's story is one of the best ones
Wow, this is just a wonderful thing to restore one's faith in humanity.
So wonderful. Thank you, StoryCorps!
Just wonderful! Hey! I have someone to listen in to! How transformative!
God, these are always so beautiful. I loved this so much.
Keep up the good work!
Touching and compelling, and so funny when you see a familiar mannerism, that reminds you of someone you know!
idk why but this made my cry, loved it
I love these stories, thank you
Just beautiful! I love story corp!
The last part of the stories made me cry bc i miss my grandmother but i can't go there to help her because of this pandemic
Great compilation of Old & New stories! x
Really makes you feel good about the human race. Considering we are a social specie.
Wow this video can actually can make anyone fill free it is like this video shows every difficulty in life that we all actually went through its really amazing that the people who made this went through all of this to wake up people and make them listen to the people who really need to be listened I mean how many people in school or if your an adult in the world have you seen being miserable I have a lot of people helping me out but somehow I kept on pushing them away this video taught me no not just me but to other people to listen or to be listen everyone should know that if we just stop and talk it actually mean that life isn't actually this cruel if you make someone listen then that makes everything great I remember everyday that I always went to the principal's office not being scolded but actually I wanted to talk to the principal but the time when I was grade 4 I stopped 1 year later I am grade 5 everyone can see I was very miserable but it never show this video change me.
Amen to this even in this year. love this video idk why i didnt get to watch this earlier. i hope you all the best story corps!
Best story ever! I listen to it over and over again
Anyone can write a story about anything, but the one's we love are the one's about other people's lives
That was so cool that we get to see their real faces! What an emotional roller coaster! I laughed, cried and had to choke on my tongue to quite myself to hear more! :)
My mother is a hard working woman. Even though she doesn't have a job she still does everything for me and my two sisters. She suffers from scoliosis and doesn't seek help for it. And was a heavy smoker for so long and is only now starting to quit. My dad is not even a decent man. At times I even prayed that when he went to work he would never come back. But we need him for money. We will be homeless without him but without my mom I will be alone. I'll have my friends sisters and dad but no one can step in her shoes and fill that void. I kinda just hope that she never leaves us.
always makes me cry
This is so wholesome, this deserves more attention
