Tuscaloosa, AL – The day after Thanksgiving has been established by Storycorps as the National Day of Listening. The event is an effort to encourage all Americans to honor a friend, a loved one, or a member of their community by interviewing them about their lives. This year Storycorps is encouraging participants to take a few minutes to say thanks to a favorite teacher. Alabama Public Radio's Ryan Vasquez spoke with StoryCorps Founder Dave Isay about this year's theme and the importance of listening.
If you can't reach your favorite teacher, Isay suggests sending a message through Facebook or Twitter, and be sure to link that note to Storycorp.
