Story Corps

I've listed to 5 interviews on Story Corps.

The first one was the most interesting one. I listened to  "What's your life like now, Dad?" "Priya Morganstern and Bhavani Jaroff interview their father, Ken Morganstern, who has Alzheimer's disease." It was very interesting listening to them ask him questions to see if he was going to be able to remember certain things. His wife passed away four years ago and he said he had no idea he how he met her in New York. He remembers dating her just not how they met. It was also kind of funny, they asked him how many children he had and he said maybe four, and he couldn't remember his sons name.

What I noticed about all these interviews is that most of them are about something that means the most to them or something that truly affects them. Something that hits the heart and makes a change in their life. You can tell how much certain situations mean to them by the tone in their voice and everything. If anything was different it was actually the stories people would talk about. Which is what I expected, i don't think anyone could have the same story.
