Intro and Outro

On Fridays, we listen to your stories. It’s time again for StoryCorps, the project that’s capturing an oral history of America. Friends and relatives interview each other in recording booths across the country and their conversations are shared with the Library of Congress and Morning Edition. For the past 18 years, Andy Linares <> has been running his family business. It’s called Bug Off Pest Control. Recently he went to StoryCorps in New York’s Grand Central Terminal to talk about his work as an exterminator.

And that’s pest control professional Andy Linares. He was recorded at a StoryCorps booth in New York. To find out how you can participate and to listen to more StoryCorps interviews, go to npr.org.
