Radio Diaries, Inc. is a 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization committed to producing a new kind of oral history. Radio Diaries is grounded in the simple faith that everyone has a story to tell, and that extraordinary stories can be found in ordinary places. Since 1996, Radio Diaries has pioneered a model for working with people to document their own lives and personal histories for public radio: teenagers, seniors, prison inmates, and others whose voices are rarely heard. We help people share their stories - and their lives - in their own words, creating documentaries that are powerful, surprising, intimate, and timeless. Radio Diaries has also established a reputation as a leading producer of historical documentaries. Our work has won almost every journalism award, including The RFK Journalism Award and The Casey Journalism Award and the Sigma Delta Chi Journalism Award. We also publish an oral history guide for young people, the Teen Reporter Handbook, which is used in schools and community radio stations across the country.

Previous and current Radio Diaries projects have received funding from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, the National Endowment for the Arts, New York Council for the Humanities, the Kaiser Foundation, New York State Council on the Arts.

Radio Diaries work can be heard on NPR's All Things Considered, and on our website at www.radiodiaries.org. Contact us for more information.
