StoryCorps is inviting people to take “

” to better understand those with whom they disagree. Through this unique project, strangers of opposing political views meet one on one to talk about their lives. 

 explores whether the simple but courageous acts of talking and listening can act as a potent countervailing force to the national discord. 

Featuring interviews with StoryCorps founder Dave Isay and prominent conservative and liberal guests, the hour is built around a live stage event from NPR Member station WBHM in Birmingham, Ala. We hear surprising and poignant conversations among people like Joseph Weidnecht and Amina Amdeen, who came to StoryCorps to remember a life-changing moment when they were on opposite sides of a political protest but found themselves suddenly in alliance.

This NPR StoryCorps special, “One small step: Courageous conversations across a growing divide,” is about the importance of conversations between people who have political differences.
