Setting the scene for StoryCorps in Marquette

Nicole Walton

StoryCorps, the national oral history project broadcast weekly on NPR's Morning Edition, is coming to

Marquette this summer to hear the personal stories of local residents.  It's Jordan Bullard's job to scout out the perfect location for the StoryCorps mobile studio, which will record those stories.  Bullard is senior coordinator for StoryCorp's mobile department.  He joined WNMU news director Nicole Walton in the studio to talk about his visit to Marquette and what to expect when StoryCorps comes to town. 

Nicole was born near Detroit but has lived in the U.P. most of her life. She graduated from Marquette Senior High School and attended Michigan State and Northern Michigan Universities, graduating from NMU in 1993 with a degree in English.
