Love, loss, and life: the StoryCorps session Jason Reynolds never forgot

Fifteen years after meeting Gary Lakin and Allison Oleszkowicz, best-selling author Jason Reynolds recalls their story of tragedy and joy.
"60 Minutes" is the most successful television broadcast in history. Offering hard-hitting investigative reports, interviews, feature segments and profiles of people in the news, the broadcast began in 1968 and is still a hit, over 50 seasons later, regularly making Nielsen's Top 10.

My grandma knows I love Jason Reynolds and called to tell me he was in 60 minutes. Such an amazing writer

[@gardensaregodly960]

60 minutes needs to do more stories like this. The U.S. is sooo divided and if some form of intervention doesn’t happen our society is definitely going to perish.

I love watching Story Corp shorts when they come on PBS. I had no idea Jason Reynolds worked for them. Really dope!

[@MakeupGaloreInc]

Such a wonderful piece.

StoryCorp needs to come to the house and the senate!

Still married with two kids and taking care of the firstborn from best friend. Humans are still an interestingly hopeful species.

Wow, that interview, wow.

NEVER SAY HUNTER BIDEN ON C-SPAN WASHINGTON JOURNAL

Please tell me more. Sounds fascinating, almost liquifyingly meaningful, and in a way it evokes an irrefutably beautiful and absolutely poetic randomness which is so seldom seen (or heard!) in the KZbin comment section. Thank you so much! You wonderful woman, you have no idea how much your words touched this middle-aged man. My heart is about to burst - and break out from the iron chains of misery, servitude and seemingly preordained ruin; yet now, with this unexpected celestial roll of the dice, my wings are spread wide as the sky over the vast horizon. Let us pray while locking our wings in a sweet, warm heavenly embrace - together we shall tell the world the Truth and spread the gospel of the Nordic gods! ♥

They ripped this off from “the story trek” which ran for at least ten seasons.

[@Av-vd3wk]

Just like Star Trek!

Story Trek started in 2011.... Maybe they have a that time machine from the one with the whales.

[@FormerHumanX]

Story Corps was founded in 2003. Story Trek started in 2011. Get your facts straight.
