StoryCorps: We Love Athens
Though each of us have our own tastes in music, food, and activities, this StoryCorps special is about the one thing we can all agree we love: Athens! You’ll hear from all kinds of members of our community from recent transplants to life-long residents. This station 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. This program is the final episode in our Athens StoryCorps project. All episodes are archived on wuga.org.
