ABOUT DAVID'S WORK
David Isay is an independent radio producer whose first-person, nonfiction storytelling addresses important social issues.
Isay treats radio journalism as an art form, making the listener complicit in the act of imagining other people’s lives. He takes subjects of seemingly marginal importance and brings their stories to life. Isay not only produces compelling radio programs, but also helps audiences care about his subjects and, by extension, other groups in society. In 2003, he launched StoryCorps, the world’s largest oral history project, through his nonprofit company, Sound Portraits Productions. Through StoryCorps, Isay seeks to instruct and inspire hundreds of thousands of Americans to record one another’s stories in soundproof recording booths set up in venues such as Grand Central Station.
