About The Facing Project

Hosted by J.R. Jamison, each episode's theme is explored through a variety of engaging avenues, from performances of stories from different points-of-view collected using The Facing Project's non-profit story sharing model, to interviews with storytellers exploring complex topics we all face.

The creators of The Facing Project and this radio show hope each episode leaves you with the courage to share your own stories and the empathy to listen to others.
