The Story

Monday - Friday, 2:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m. on KUOW2

The Story finds people whose lives are intersecting with significant issues in the news and gives them the opportunity to tell their story. At a time when celebrity rules and the only "ordinary" people we see are faces in the crowd, The Story reminds listeners that their stories and their lives matter.
