Looking for a diversion from divisive political conversation this Thanksgiving? StoryCorps suggests using its smartphone app as part of its Great Thanksgiving Listen project. The project asks middle, high school and college students to record conversations with elders using the app. The app can suggest questions to ask. “We’re not asking people on the app to argue about politics,” StoryCorps founder Dave Isay recently told NPR’s Linda Wertheimer. “It’s about talking about who they are, where they come from, what their dreams are.” Users can both record the interview and upload it to the StoryCorps archive in the American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress.
