Missouri on Mic is seeking any Missourians, longtime or recent residents, who can offer brief stories, anecdotes and responses to provided prompts surrounding their experiences as Missouri citizens.

The Missouri on Mic traveling audio booth will be at the COMO200 festival on July 4 to capture stories of mid-Missourians for the bicentennial.

A team of Missouri School of Journalism students will record conversations with area residents about their thoughts living in Missouri and their hope for Missouri’s future.

Missouri on Mic made its debut at the True False Film Fest in May, and recorded stories of mid-Missourians at the Columbia Farmer’s Market earlier in June.

Missouri residents who are interested in having their stories recorded for the project can visit the audio booth at Flat Branch Park in Columbia between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. In the fall, edited stories will air on KBIA and archived at the State Historical Society of Missouri.

Persons who are unable to attend can still have their story recorded remotely for the project by contacting KBIA at news@kbia.org.
