Aaron Smith got ready to interview his father David Smith, right, in the StoryCorps mobile trailer at the Martin Luther King Jr. National Historic site in 2006. Another StoryCorps booth will open in Atlanta this month.

Atlanta’s public radio station announced in an e-mail yesterday that StoryCorps Atlanta will open Oct. 22. The public oral history project has become more and more mobile — it stopped in Atlanta a few year ago — but this booth will be at WABE’s studio for at least one year, with a goal of collecting 750 interviews. Registration for interviews is open now.

Months ago, I heard of a tentative plan to to install a permanent booth at the Center for Civil and Human Rights. Sacha Evans with StoryCorps said those plans haven’t been established. (WABE said nobody was available to talk about it before Tuesday and I left a message for the Center for Civil and Human Rights.) For now, the StoryCorps booth will live  at 740 Bismark Road in Atlanta.

“We’d love to continue to work with WABE, and to stay in Atlanta,” Evans told me.

You may have heard StoryCorps interviews broadcast on public radio every Friday morning, but you can listen to even more of them online.

Here are WABE’s directions on how to participate — Evans adds that if all appointments are booked up, check back at 10 a.m. on the first day of each month, when more appointments are added.

Step 1: Make a reservation
It’s easy to record an interview with someone important in your life. First, think of a person whose stories you would like to hear, or someone who might like to ask about yours, like a grandparent, sibling, or friend. Then reserve an appointment online or by phone 1(800) 850-4406.

Step 2: Prepare for your session

Step 3: Tell your story, pass it on
Bring your friends or loved one to the StoryCorps recording facility. Our trained staff will explain the process, make you feel comfortable, and sit with you during your 40-minute session. At the end of your session, you’ll receive a free broadcast-quality CD to share with family and friends, and a second copy will be archived at the Library of Congress.
