65 and older? Have a story to tell? Hit 'record' and send NPR your podcast

NPR is launching a special podcast challenge inviting individuals aged 65 and older to share their life stories in audio format this fall. The best submissions will be selected by judges and aired on national broadcasts. This initiative not only honors the rich experiences of seniors but also aims to highlight their perspectives and narratives that often go unheard. By encouraging storytelling, NPR seeks to enrich its audience's understanding of diverse life experiences and foster a deeper connection through shared human stories.
