Stories of people waiting at the San Mateo County Jail. Waiting to go home, waiting to visit a loved one, and waiting to learn what their future holds.

Perry Alagappan: The Death of Opportunity

Soundings is the sandbox for all student work from the Stanford Storytelling Project (SSP). SSP is an arts program at Stanford University that explores how we live in and through stories and how we can use them to change our lives. Our mission is to promote the transformative nature of traditional and modern oral storytelling, from Lakota tales to Radiolab, and empower students to create and perform their own stories. The project sponsors courses, workshops, live events, and grants, along with its radio show State of the Human.
