Podcast appearances and mentions of dave isay

Trump is named TIME Person of the Year, and the cover story gives more insight into his plans for the White House including Jan. 6 pardons "in the first hour, maybe first nine minutes." Plus, Trump admits it's 'very hard' to bring grocery prices down. And, lawmakers demand answers over mystery drone sightings in NJ & NY. Ayman Mohyeldin, Eric Cortellessa, Peter Baker, Ali Vitali, Peter Goodman, Justin Wolfers, Kevin Baron, and Dave Isay join the 11th Hour this Thursday.

How often do you talk to someone you disagree with—not in a Twitter pile on, but face to face?  With Donald Trump's inauguration fast approaching (plus holidays full of opinionated relatives), Jon sits down with Dave Isay, the founder of StoryCorps, to talk about the healing power of conversation. StoryCorps is a segment on NPR's Morning Edition, a podcast and the largest single archive of personal narratives in the world. Since 2016, it's also facilitated conversations between Republicans and Democrats as part of its One Small Step Initiative, and the results are surprisingly heartwarming. Jon and Dave talk about strategies to overcome political polarization, what we learn when we talk to strangers, and how to have productive conversations with people who disagree with you.

As you're recovering from indulging in stuffing and pecan pie, we wanted to bring you a special bonus episode we put together in collaboration with our friends at StoryCorps. If you haven't heard of StoryCorps, it's an organization that has been gathering individual stories from across the country for over 20 years and collects them in the U.S. Library of Congress. StoryCorps's online archive now has the largest single collection of human voices ever gathered. Today, we wanted to play seven stories about gratitude. There's one about a man's deeply held appreciation for his father, a story about a mother who forgave the man who killed her son, and one about a busboy who prayed over Robert Kennedy right after he was shot in 1968. There's a story about a first love, an unexpected friendship, and being yourself. We know it sounds cheesy, but these stories made us laugh and cry, and we think you'll love them, too. And as StoryCorps's founder Dave Isay tells us, “Don't forget about the beauty in poetry, and the grace in the stories of our loved ones and neighbors hiding in plain sight all around us.”  Thank you so much to Dave and StoryCorps for partnering with us for this episode. If you want to have a conversation with a stranger across the political divide, sign up at One Small Step. If you want to honor a loved one over the holidays with a StoryCorps interview that goes straight from your phone into the Library of Congress with one tap, participate in their Great Thanksgiving Listen.

Dave Isay's nonprofit brings people from opposite ends of the political spectrum together for face-to-face conversations, aiming to bridge America's deep divide—a goal he believes is achievable if people set aside their phones.

For our final show in 2023, enjoy these recent favorites: Andrew Seligsohn, president of Public Agenda, talks about his group's project to ensure participation in voting and restore trust in democracy ahead of the 2024 elections. Dave Isay, founder and president of StoryCorps, reflects on 20 years of stories produced by StoryCorps. Larry Buchanan, graphics editor and reporter at The New York Times, talks about the "extremely detailed map" he made of New York City neighborhoods, and what the map, neighborhood names and fuzzy (and sharp!) borders say about, as he writes, "gentrification, displacement, inequality, status." Jill Lepore, professor of American History at Harvard University, staff writer at The New Yorker, host of the podcasts The Last Archive and Elon Musk and the author of several books, including These Truths and her latest, The Deadline: Essays (Liveright, 2023), talks about her latest collection of essays, most of which focused on the relationship between America's past and its polarized present. Don't ask Lydia Polgreen, New York Times opinion columnist and co-host of the “Matter of Opinion” podcast, to go on a walk with you. In a column this autumn, she celebrated the "solitary amble" and laments the "social tyranny" of the walking date or meeting. Polgreen made her case, as listeners responded.   These interviews were lightly edited for time and clarity; the original web versions of the interviews are available through these links:  A Plan to Strengthen Democracy in 2024 (Nov. 9) Celebrating 20 Years of StoryCorps (Oct. 23) Where One Neighborhood Ends and Another Begins (Nov. 2) Jill Lepore on the Past and Present, the Personal and Political (Aug. 30) Take A Walk With Me? (Sep 21)

Less than a week before President-elect Joe Biden's inauguration, law enforcement officials issue a warning, saying the nation faces an unprecedented threat of extremist violence. This as the Department of Justice says it has no direct evidence that some involved in the January 6th storming of the Capitol intended to capture and assassinate elected officials. Allison Keyes talks to CBS's Jeff Pegues. Meanwhile, there are concerns on whether those who stormed the Capitol had help from someone inside. CBS's Catherine Herridge tells Allison some involved used military tactics. President Trump has become the first president to be impeached twice, this time for "incitement of insurrection" over the deadly assault on the U.S Capitol. CBS's Nancy Cordes reports on what's happening in the Senate. CBS's Grace Segers, was inside the Capitol during the attack on January 6th, and talks to Allison about what it was like to return for the impeachment hearings. Joe Biden has unveiled a massive stimulus plan to help fight COVID-19, as the virus reaches over 2-million global cases. Debra Alfarone reports. Thursday, nine people, including former Michigan Governor Rick Snyder, were charged over the Flint Water Scandal. Two were charged with involuntary manslaughter in what many see as an example of environmental racism and injustice. In 2014, the mostly Black city's water supply was tainted with lead, Simultaneously, a Legionnaires disease outbreak killed 12 people. Allison speaks with activist Pastor John McClane about the charges, and a pending 641 (M) million dollar settlement for residents. In this week's Kaleidoscope segment, new reporting from the non-profit newsroom ProPublica suggests that racism in the U-S Capitol Police Department may have exacerbated the deadly storming of the Capitol on January 6th. Allison speaks with the article's co-author Joaquin Sapien. StoryCorps, the 17-year-old non profit with the mission of preserving and sharing humanity's stories, has launched a new effort called One Small Step, aimed at dealing with the political divide in the nation. Allison gets details from founder Dave Isay. Finally, Allison shares the story of an Orlando restaurant server who's quick thinking helped a boy escape from a possibly abusive home.

My guest today wants words for Christmas. How cool is that? She is Wendy Smedley and I’m so eager for you to get to know her better, because she is one of my most favorite people on the planet and a fabulous conversationalist. Wendy is the Marketing Manager at FamilySearch International. She is also mother to five (yes, 5) adult sons and just happens to also be the author of The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Scrapbooking . We talk about all those things and a whole LOT more … Photo by henry perks on Unsplash Photo by lay L on Unsplash A couple of years ago, Wendy found herself in the middle of an unanticipated divorce. For a women who poured herself into nurturing her family, this was a devastating shock. Her divorce among other challenges has invited serious soul searching, deep learning and new levels of self-care. Because of how Wendy chose to respond to unwelcome circumstances, she is now in a position to impart some serious insight and wisdom. Wendy seeks to be open hearted and always learning. She is curious and asks thought provoking questions—in fact, she sparked this episode for me when she related her almost daily observation of tower cranes near her downtown Salt Lake City home. What she discovered about these massive heavy-lifting machines is 100% applicable to anyone who is feeling discouraged or overwhelmed by life and trials. I know you’re going to relate to and come away grateful for Wendy’s positivity, vulnerability and sense of humor! Ok, you want links to all of the goodness Wendy shared? Here we go …FamilySearch FREE Global family history event online, RootsTech Connect Learn more @rootstechofficial on InstagramFacebook Live with Wendy and Dave Isay (founder of StoryCorps)IG Live Stream with Wendy and me (family history home tour)The Second Mountain, by David BrooksIt Didn’t Start with You, by Mark WolynnWendy’s new favorite podcast, Poetry Unbound. Martin Seligman's 3 Ps can determine to a large extent someone’s ability to navigate hardship. Wendy discussed the danger of personalization, pervasiveness and permanence in your mental approach. Wendy boldly declared that she has enough time for poetry and Billy Collins is one of her favorites … Speaking of poetry, we both agreed talking that much of what Wendy has experienced is reflected in this well-known poem from The Prophet, by Kahlil Gibran …On Joy & Sorrow “Then a woman said, Speak to us of Joy and Sorrow.And he answered:Your joy is your sorrow unmasked.And the selfsame well from which your laughter rises was oftentimes filled with your tears.And how else can it be?The deeper that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can contain.Is not the cup that holds your wine the very cup that was burned in the potter’s oven?And is not the lute that soothes your spirit, the very wood that was hollowed with knives?When you are joyous, look deep into your heart and you shall find it is only that which has given you sorrow that is giving you joy.When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight.Some of you say, “Joy is greater than sorrow,” and others say, “Nay, sorrow is the greater.”But I say unto you, they are inseparable.Together they come, and when one sits alone with you at your board, remember that the other is asleep upon your bed.Verily you are suspended like scales between your sorrow and your joy. Only when you are empty are you at standstill and balanced. When the reassure-keeper lifts you to weigh his gold and his silver, needs must your joy or your sorrow rise or fall.” — Kahlil Gibran And, finally … in case you want to learn more about the amazing tower cranes, here the video I shared a portion of in my introduction …

Liberally dredged in Janet’s warm, witty prose, you’ll want to devour both the writing and recipes like buckwheat-studded chocolate bark, richly spiced tofu chorizo, and chocolate pudding so silky it will make you weep with joy. These dishes travel easily to loved ones in need of TLC, but also risk becoming part of your everyday repertoire.”—Alanna Taylor-Tobin, author of Alternative Baker: Reinventing Dessert with Gluten-Free Grains and Flours   “Whether life is in joyful disarray or has been upended by sorrow, Extra Helping is the cookbook you need. A master class in the art of nurture, the gift of this volume is that simply leafing through its pages leaves the reader feeling soothed, calmed, and ready to offer support to friends, family, and community. If food is your preferred expression of love, you will feel instantly at home within these pages.”—Marisa McClellan, author of Naturally Sweet Food in Jars   “Finally, a book that gives us the courage to make a difference and the tools to get there. Now we can help our friends through the roughest year or even the roughest Thursday, whether it’s with congee, carnitas, ginger custard, or the greatest chocolate pudding I’ve ever tasted. Extra Helping will make you a better cook, a better friend, and a better human.”—Alana Chernila, author of Eating from the Ground Up   “There’s a ton of wisdom in this book. Truthfully, it’s not so much a cookbook as it is a manual about how to nurture with recipes as the supporting actors. But those recipes happen to be quite alluring. I’ve been immersed in recipes for forty years, and this lineup really offers a new slant. It made me want to go straight to the kitchen and start cooking.”—Sara Moulton, host of Sara’s Weeknight Meals and author of Sara Moulton’s Home Cooking 101   “Just reading Extra Helping is healing, as it gently talks you through the sort of sustenance that will get you through a tough spell, as well as provide you with enough support to help someone you care about in a meaningful way. Everything is restoratively delicious—the broths and soups are effortless and the hot drinks feel imperative. And in case you’re wondering, the cookies, meatballs, tiny pancakes, and teeny cakes all feel like exactly what I want to eat to feel well and good and happy, always.”—Maggie Battista, author of Food Gift Love "A small, quirky, and insanely kind collection, Elsbach's first cookbook combines elements of Mollie Katzen’s The Moosewood Cookbook and Mark Bittman’s How to Cook Everything oeuvres. With a unique tone and caring approach, Elsbach identifies eight different lifecycle occasions, from births to passings, that demand lovingly delivered food. Her audience is everyone who wants to help their friends and loved ones during such times, and she provides 70–plus recipes for doing just that."—Booklist, starred review  ======================  Request to Join the FREE Meredith Atwood Community & Coaching https://meredith-atwood-coaching.mn.co/ ======================  Buy Meredith’s Books: The Year of No Nonsense https://amzn.to/3su5qWp Triathlon for the Every Woman: https://amzn.to/3nOkjiH =======================   Follow Meredith Atwood & The Podcast on Social: Web: http://www.swimbikemom.com Instagram: http://instagram.com/swimbikemom   =======================  Want to Connect?  Email: same24hourspodcast@gmail.com =======================  Credits: Host & Production: Meredith Atwood Copyright 2017-2020, 2021 All Rights Reserved, Meredith Atwood, LLC

Author Peter Schweizer joins to discuss what must be asked of Hunter Biden and the whistleblower if they are called as witnesses in the Senate trial. Senator Tom Cotton warns that the coronavirus is China’s “Chernobyl,” and its data can’t be trusted. And StoryCorps’ Dave Isay brings another real-life story of the spirit of humanity.

Dave Isay, the founder of StoryCorps, has an uplifting message for this Thanksgiving season. In a conversation with Brian Stelter, Isay reflects on the power of listening to loved ones' stories. Fights on cable news and Twitter are "just not who we are," he says. "I am way less fearful and way more hopeful about people after having this experience." Fifteen years in, more than half a million people have recorded their stories with StoryCorps. Now the group is launching a new initiative to connect people across the political divide.

In 1993, teenagers LeAlan Jones and Lloyd Newman recorded a week of their lives on Chicago's South Side. Working with StoryCorps founder Dave Isay, LeAlan and Lloyd produced a documentary they called Ghetto Life 101, one of the most acclaimed programs in public radio history. To mark the 25th anniversary, we bring you a special presentation of Ghetto Life 101.

Listening — to loved ones, strangers, faraway places — is an act of generosity and a source of discovery. In this episode, TED speakers describe how we change when we listen deeply. In a special updated interview, StoryCorps founder Dave Isay reflects on how we can best listen to each other, especially within our current political climate. Other guests from the original 2015 broadcast include sound artist Honor Harger, percussionist Evelyn Glennie, and Baptist minister Jeffrey Brown.

Hear his vision to take StoryCorps global — and how you can be a part of it by interviewing someone with the StoryCorps app. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

On our first week of Indivisible, CNN host Fareed Zakaria helped establish a set of democratic norms against which the Trump Administration’s actions could be measured. "Many of the things that make democracy what it is are not written in stone,” he told Brian Lehrer, explaining that what worried him most about a Trump presidency was a breach of what he called “informal norms.” Mocking the press, for example, “is not unconstitutional, but it violates a norm. It’s an attempt to intimidate,” Zakaria said. On this episode of Indivisible, Zakaria returns to answer and evaluate whether other norms, informal or not, have in fact shifted during Donald Trump’s first days in office. Plus Indivisible and StoryCorps have been asking you keep the conversation going by volunteering to talk to someone in your own life with whom you disagree with politically. Dave Isay, the founder of StoryCorps, is joined by a husband and wife whose opposing political opinions are causing marital stress. One is a political scientist and the other a rocket scientist. Can you guess who voted for Trump? Want to take part in our social experiment with StoryCorps? Here's how: email listen@StoryCorps.org with the subject line "Indivisible Interview." Tell us who you want to talk to, why, and what you want to ask them. Here are some Tweets from this episode: Indivisible Week 14: How Has Trump Challenged Our Democratic Norms?

“The soul is contained in the human voice,” says David Isay, founder of StoryCorps. He sees the StoryCorps booth — a setting where two people ask the questions they’ve always wanted to ask each other — as a sacred space. He shares his wisdom about listening as an act of love, and how eliciting and capturing our stories is a way of insisting that every life matters.

David Isay is the founder of StoryCorps and winner of the MacArthur Genius Grant and 2015 TED Prize. His new StoryCorps book is “Callings: The Purpose and Passion of Work”. This interview is edited and produced with music and other features in the On Being episode “David Isay — Listening as an Act of Love.

StoryCorp is an organization that aims "to provide people of all backgrounds and beliefs with the opportunity to record, share and preserve the stories of our lives." Featured stories are broadcast nationally on NPR. StoryCorp has published more than 50,000 interviews with almost 100,000 participants since they launched in 2003. A small to mid-size non-profit organization, StoryCorp's interviews are logged in the Library of Congress, and over the years they have created new and ingenious ways to enable story telling. There are recording booths in a number of cities throughout the country where anyone can go and record and interview or story. The first was in Grand Central Station, though it's since shut down due to budget issues. However, booths are open in Atlanta, San Francisco, and Chicago where anyone can make a reservation to record. They also have an Airstream trailer that travels the country and records interviews all over the place. Creating ways for people to share stories is the heart of StoryCorps mission. [caption id="attachment_12144" align="aligncenter" width="752"] The StoryCorps MobileBooth. Credit: StoryCorp Flickr[/caption] One WordPress developer that worked on the StoryCorp project told me, "I cry almost every time" as they listen to StoryCorps on their local NPR station every Friday morning. The stories to tend to be very powerful. I was nearly brought to tears by one where a lady hugs her son's murderer. Another moving story (from my hometown no less), features a father that comes to terms with his daughter's homosexuality. Or there's one where President Obama interviews a boy who overcame adversity to join My Brother's Keeper. Record stories anywhere The latest initiative for creating ways for people to share their story is via StoryCorps.me, a website and companion apps that make it easy for anyone with a smartphone to record an interview and publish it. StoryCorps.me is built on WordPress, and utilizes the WordPress REST API to enable access to a customized content architecture. The StoryCorps app utilizes the API to consume data and publish stories from the app back to the website. I interviewed Dean Haddock, Director of Digital & Technical Innovation at StoryCorp, about how the idea for the app came about, how they use and think of WordPress, and other insights from their short three month development period. A national day of listening Dean says he thinks the StoryCorps app really dates back to a program they ran three years ago called A National Day of Listening, where instead of shopping on Black Friday, they hosted an event where people could tell stories. Dean's team expanding on the idea, and the event turned into a micro-site using SoundCloud's API that made that process easier. That project eventually expanded into the idea that would become StoryCorps.me. Funding for the app The StoryCorps app was funded thanks to StoryCorps founder Dave Isay winning this year's TED Prize Winner. He gave a TED Talk in Vancouver just a few weeks ago, where he shared how everyone has a story to tell. [caption id="attachment_12145" align="aligncenter" width="752"] Dave Isay at TED[/caption] The TED Prize is awarded to an individual with a creative, bold vision to spark global change. By leveraging the TED community’s resources and investing $1 million into a powerful idea, each year the TED Prize supports one wish to inspire the world. - TED Prize website His wish after winning the TED Prize was to "to grow this digital archive of the collective wisdom of humanity." During the TED Talk, he noted that StoryCorps is "the single largest collection of human voices ever collected." The new app makes this mission even more plausible, by having almost no barrier for interview creation. The $1 million TED Prize made it possible. Development of the StoryCorps app With "one tap", interviews can be created and uploaded to the StoryCorps.me website and the Library of Congress archive. Dave shared some of his vision for the app during the TED Talk: Imagine, for example, a national homework assignment where every high school student studying U.S. history across the country records an interview with an elder over Thanksgiving, so that in one single weekend an entire generation of American lives and experiences are captured. Development of the app was managed on three levels. The StoryCorps team did project management, communication, and handled RFPs for app and website development. They also ensured that everything fit the StoryCorps model, and ensured that the new website and app talked to existing StoryCorps software and APIs properly. 10up built the website infrastructure, manages scalability issues, and managed the integration of the WordPress REST API. MAYA design designed and built the app for the end-user, utilizing PhoneGap so that the app could be launched simultaneously to both iOS and Android platforms. [pullquote align="right"]"We knew we going to use WordPress before we started looking for partners to help us build this thing."[/pullquote] As a "small to midsize non-profit," StoryCorps has few resources. StoryCorps.org has been on WordPress, and they wanted to use WordPress for StoryCorps.me as well. The development phase was quite short: from funding to launch took only three months. They launched at TED after receiving the funding last October. For public facing web technology, WordPress is so flexible and so malleable and amenable to whatever we need to do with it, that it really wasn't much of a question whether this was the right platform. What their real question was, Dean shares, was how WordPress could scale if and when they hit a million users, and that's why they brought in 10up. What they learned They are really pleased with how the project has gone so far. However, not everything was a success. They had to pivot and make adjustments as they went along and learned new things and requirements. Dean noted, [pullquote align="right"]"You have to be willing to completely submit to the process."[/pullquote] He says it wouldn't have succeeded if 10up and Maya weren't committed as StoryCorps to the success of the project. They also learned what Dean calls "more tangible" things, like the usage of PhoneGap. Without using a tool like PhoneGap, they wouldn't have been able to "get to market as soon as possible." However, he admits the app could be slightly better if it were built in a native platform to either iOS or Android. Powerful stories I really enjoyed digging into StoryCorps mission and the new StoryCorps.me project. I'm addicted to their stories, and some of the stories that have been uploaded -- such as those in the audio intro -- are really endearing. While there may be an element of noise to the StoryCorps.me archive, it's already evident that many gems will emerge, and who knows what ideas people will come up with for creative ways to perform interviews and record stories. The apps are available on Google Play and in the App Store. It'll be improving over the next weeks and and months. If you're excited about technology at StoryCorps, you can reach Dean at dhaddock@storycorps.org or you can also report issues or ask questions about the app at contactus@storycorps.me. StoryCorps is a great testament to WordPress and its ability to be an infrastructure to an app at scale, while also enabling efficient development cycles. This is probably my favorite utilization of the new REST API yet.
