ONE SMALL STEP: RADIO STATION HUBS PARTNER
One Small Step is an effort to remind the country of the humanity in all of us, even those with whom we disagree. The initiative brings strangers with different political views together to record a 50-minute conversation—not to debate politics, but to learn who we are as people.
Each year, StoryCorps partners with a select number of public radio stations who offer their own One Small Step program locally. In 2023, KUOW was selected as a One Small Step, Radio Station Hubs partner.
