This summer, students from the Iowa Young Writers’ Studio crowded into the KRUI studio to tell stories from memory. Without notes or written preparation, these high-schoolers gave oral histories—true-life tales they’ll hold inside their heads for a lifetime. The series was aired on four dates during a two-week period.
This program was inspired by The Moth Reading Series in New York City.
Note: Some students chose not to give their full names. Their names and hometowns are listed as they asked them to appear.
