Frank Prosnitz/A Bridge to the Future

David Isay: Finding hope during challenging times

July 20, 2024 Frank Prosnitz/David Isay Season 4 Episode 9

Since 2003, when David Isay founded StoryCorps, he has been on a mission of finding hope, even at the darkest times. Since 2003, StroryCorps has conducted more than 700,000 interviews, and has recently launched a new project, One Small Step, bringing together people with different political views, who relate to one another not as political foes, but as human beings with far more in common. David has won six Peabody Awards, a MacArthur "Genius" Fellowship, and the 2015 TED Prize for his work. We caught up in advance of his presentation at Westerly, Rhode Island's United Theater on July 26.
