Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Dave Isay (I-SAY) is the founder and president of StoryCorps, a New York Times bestselling author, the recipient of numerous Peabody Awards, and a MacArthur “Genius” Fellow. In 2003, Isay founded StoryCorps, an independent nonprofit organization that has brought more than 750,000 Americans together―two at a time―to record intimate conversations about their lives, create a human connection, pass wisdom from one generation to the next, and leave a legacy for the future. Each conversation is preserved at the American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress―the largest single collection of human voices ever gathered. Millions of listeners hear StoryCorps’s weekly broadcasts on public radio, and select stories are also shared through StoryCorps’s podcast, animated shorts, digital platforms, and books.
