StoryCorps - One Small Step Application

One Small Step is a national project launched by StoryCorps designed to break down boundaries created by politics and remember our shared humanity. The project seeks to remind us that we have more in common than that which divides us and that treating those with whom we disagree with decency and respect is essential to a functioning democracy.

AZPM is partnering with StoryCorps to record conversations between strangers who hold different political beliefs. The point of the conversations is NOT to debate policy or simply “talk politics.” The goal is for folks to share personal stories about how they came to believe what they do. Rather than trying to change someone's mind, our hope is that participants will simply learn something about someone who is different than them.

If you are interested in taking "one small step" with us and recording a conversation with someone with different political beliefs, please take a few moments to fill out this brief survey. Your responses to these questions will help us match you with a conversation partner. If you are selected to participate, an AZPM staff member will contact you with additional information. Please note that not all participants will be matched for an interview.
