storycorps has declared the first annual national day of listening on friday, november 28.
each day this week, npr has been playing a story from a different person/place, and on friday, they will play stories throughout the day. this is a “call to action” for americans to take time on friday to sit down with someone you love, ask a question or two, and really listen. read more in this interview.
for today’s story, george w. bush’s sister doro interviewed the outgoing president and first lady about what they will miss about life in the whitehouse, and like most storycorps responses, the answers were surprisingly sweet.
