The audio project was established to create an oral history of regular citizens, allowing everyday Americans to preserve personal stories for future generations of their own families, as well as the rest of the nation. In keeping with Chicago Public Radio's tradition of collecting and sharing the diverse voices of our community, inside of recording studio disguised as an Airstream trailer, where you can record an interview with a relative or friend.
