How do I submit interviews to a community?

A user has to be a member of a community to submit an interview. To join a community, please read these instructions.

Once you’ve joined a community, you can submit your interview through either the app or archive.storycorps.org.

Share through the app when you prepare your interview
Share through the app after you record
Share from archive.storycorps.org after you publish

Share through the app when you prepare your interview

If you take advantage of the ability to prepare an interview in the app, you can select the community you’d like to share it with before you even start recording.

Click the “+” symbol on the top right hand corner of your screen.
Select “Prepare an Interview.”
On the “Prepare an Interview” screen, select “Who will you share this interview with?”

Select the community you’d like to share the interview with.
Click “Save.”
Complete the other information (title, participants, questions) and select either “Done” to start your interview later or “Record This Interview” to begin recording.

Share through the app after you record

You can add your interview to the community at any time. When you complete your interview details when publishing, “Share with a community” is an option (if you’re already a community member). Or, you can edit an interview to add it to a community later.

To submit an interview through the app when editing, follow these steps:

Press “My Interviews” and scroll down to the interview you’d like to submit.
Press the three dots in the bottom right corner of the interview box and tap “Edit Info” in the drop-down menu.
Scroll down and press “Share with a Community.”

Tap the “+” button next to the community you’d like to share the interview with.
Save your changes.

Keep in mind if the community moderates its interviews, your request will be marked as pending while it is reviewed by the community owners/moderators. You will receive an email from StoryCorps when your interview has been accepted.

Share your interview from archive.storycorps.org

To submit an interview to a community from the archive.storycorps.org website, follow these steps:

Log in to your account at archive.storycorps.org.
Click on your username in the upper right corner of the screen.
Click on “View Profile.”
Click on “Edit” in the box of the interview you would like to add to the community.
Scroll down to step 7 (“Add your interview to a community”), select the community from the list of communities you have joined as a member, and press “Update Interview.”
If no approval is needed from the community owners/moderators, the interview will be added immediately to the community profile page.
If the community moderates its interviews, your request will be marked as pending while it is reviewed by the community owners/moderators. You will receive an email from StoryCorps when your interview has been accepted.
