Menu StoryCorps is partnering with WGCU to record, preserve, and share the stories of Southwest Florida!
February 15th-March 15th, 2024
StoryCorps is thrilled to announce that we are coming to Fort Myers, Florida! Mobile Tour participants will have the option to record with us in-person in our mobile airstream or remotely in our “virtual recording booth.” Both options will be guided by one of our trained staff members.
In-person recordings:
- In-person recordings will take place in our airstream at Alliance for the Arts.
- Both participants must be physically present for the recording.
- Mobility assistance is available to enter the airstream. This will be covered during your confirmation call after you book an appointment.
Information on recording virtually:
- Recordings can take place anywhere, as long as one participant lives in the region and both have access to an internet connected device.
- Participants can be in the same location while recording or in different locations.
- A tech check, which will test the ability of your device to connect to the virtual recording booth, will be required prior to your recording appointment.
One Small Step
- During our time in Fort Myers, the Mobile Tour will be doing a first ever experimental set of One Small Step recordings, which aims to get 2 people who don’t know each other to discuss their beliefs and values.
- If you think you’d be interested in this opportunity, please fill out this survey here and we will contact you.
Before making your reservation, check in with your conversation partner to figure out which option works best for the two of you. Please have their contact information ready when you book.

Due to high demand and a limited number of appointments, we ask you to please limit bookings to one reservation per person/household. If all spots are booked, please add yourself to our waitlist.
**PLEASE NOTE THAT STORYCORPS RESERVES THE RIGHT TO CANCEL RECORDING APPOINTMENTS DUE TO STAFF ILLNESS. We do our best to accommodate all recording appointments but occasionally need to cancel due to staff capacity. We will always notify you of cancellations and work to reschedule your appointment. **
