In the tradition of storytelling on public radio, Morning Stories presents a growing collection of lean-forward-and-listen stories from individuals sharing a wide range of human experiences and emotions. Told in the first person and recounting morsels of everyday life - quirky, funny, sad, unexpectedly insightful -- Morning Stories air every Tuesday at 7:50am on 89.7, and are available anytime at http://www.wgbh.org/morningstories.

An ongoing project, Morning Stories aims to bring new voices to the air and to foster a sense of community through the sharing of stories from neighbors and colleagues. "Public radio isn't just a first rate source for music and news," notes Morning Stories' creative director and producer Tony Kahn. "It's our national campfire, where we swap stories about the important personal moments in our lives. As listeners, we get to finish the pictures in our own minds, and make these stories our own."
