StoryCorps
StoryCorps is in Rochester
StoryCorps, a national initiative to document everyday history and the unique stories of Americans, was in Rochester in July. WXXI invited StoryCorps to Rochester to capture the stories of Rochesterians as part of the celebration of the City’s 175 Anniversary.
Recently from StoryCorps Rochester
In June 1972, the remnants of Hurricane Agnes struck the southern tier of New York, and the Chemung River broke through the dam system the next morning. Some parts of Corning were submerged under 18 feet of water; eighteen people were killed and millions of dollars of damage was incurred. Jeanne Corcoran lived in Corning during the flood, and when the StoryCorps MobileBooth came to Rochester last summer, she joined her sister Patricia to talk about her experience during the storm.

About the Visit
The StoryCorps MobileBooth – an Airstream trailer outfitted with a recording studio – was in residence at the Rundel Library, and over 200 people shared their memories and experiences. Two or three of the stories may be selected for national broadcast. WXXI will air most of the Rochester stories locally during Morning Edition and All Things Considered.
Beginning September 10, 2009, StoryCorps Rochester began to air each Thursday at 6:35 am, 8:35 am and 5:45 pm on WXXI-AM 1370, WRUR-FM 88.5, or WXXI-FM 91.5 HD2. These stories will also be available above and as a podcast after the broadcast date.
