One Small Step

Here's our final excerpt from KSUT’s partnership with StoryCorps.

As part of KSUT’s One Small Step partnership with StoryCorps, here’s another excerpt from the project. Scott Mathis and Laura DeWitt were strangers when they met at KSUT last summer. They kick around the meaning of the words “conservative” and “liberal” and explore how their lives have shaped their politics.

Sidny Zink and Karen Pontius both live in Durango, but they were strangers when they sat down for a conversation at KSUT in August, 2022. Sidny identifies herself as “conservative,” and Karen as “liberal." But they find common ground in their work histories, and have some laughs along the way.

During the event you will hear audio from One Small Step conversations and learn from local participants what the experience was like.

KSUT has partnered with StoryCorps, the national nonprofit dedicated to recording, preserving, and sharing the stories of Americans of all backgrounds and beliefs, as part of StoryCorps’ One Small Step Radio Station Hubs project.

While Americans face challenges unlike any other time in our history, KSUT and StoryCorps invite you to take part in One Small Step, a nationwide initiative to help bridge political divides and strengthen communities, one conversation at a time.
