One Small Step Stories
mark
In collaboration with StoryCorps and other community organizations throughout the Four Corners, we invite you to meet someone new — a fellow resident with different views from you, who you might never talk to otherwise — for a simple, personal, 50-minute conversation.
KSUT is one of just six stations selected nationally to host One Small Step in 2022. With participant permission, these conversations will be preserved for future generations at the American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress.
