Community Conversations

Since 2023, KHOL has partnered with StoryCorps to record community conversations – between strangers from different perspectives, friends and loved ones and candidates running for office and the constituents they aim to represent.

When we sit down and truly listen, we learn who’s standing next to us, what they care about and how we might find common ground.

“You’re a person I feel honored to have in my state, to be a fellow citizen with me.”

For the 2026 election season, we are pairing candidates running for office with the constituents they aim to represent. If you are interested in participating in a conversation, please fill out this form

If you have any questions about the program, please contact Lauren Grossman at lauren@jhcr.org.

About StoryCorps

Founded in 2003, StoryCorps has given over 625,000 people, in all 50 states, the chance to record interviews about their lives. The award-winning organization preserves the recordings in its archive at the American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress, the largest single collection of human voices ever gathered, and shares select stories with the public through StoryCorps’ podcast, NPR broadcasts, animated shorts, digital platforms, and best-selling books. These powerful human stories reflect the vast range of American experiences, engender empathy and connection, and remind us how much more we have in common than what divides us. StoryCorps is especially committed to capturing and amplifying voices least heard in the media. The StoryCorps MobileBooth, an Airstream trailer that has been transformed into a traveling recording booth, crisscrosses the country year-round, gathering the stories of people nationwide. 2023 marks StoryCorps’ 20th anniversary. Learn more at storycorps.org.

StoryCorps’ One Small Step and the Radio Station Hubs were made possible by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. StoryCorps is a national nonprofit dedicated to recording, preserving and sharing the stories of Americans of all backgrounds and beliefs.

Conversations are archived at the Library of Congress and on the StoryCorps website.
