StoryCorps: Childhood
There’s nothing like the joy of childhood. From skinned knees and first loves to teenage mischief and lessons learned, childhood is a formative experience for us all. In this StoryCorps Special, we’ll hear these stories from our friends and neighbors about their own childhood experiences and the memories that have stuck with them over the years. WUGA is proud to present StoryCorps Athens, a collection of interviews as part of a national initiative to record and preserve the stories of everyday people. These stories were recorded in Athens in the StoryCorps mobile booth during the Fall of 2018.
