Hi, I’m Krissy Clark, a Peabody-nominated journalist, public radio reporter, editor, and audio documentary-maker (and a fifth generation San Franciscan).  Storieseverywhere.org is the place where now and then I showcase my experiments in location-based story telling.

There’s this audio tour I did of the Lower East Side in collaboration with StoryCorps for the New Museum.

And there’s this project where I mined one of San Francisco’s most boring-looking city blocks for hidden stories, which I marked with red balloons.

I’m interested in the way people shape places, and places shape people.  Other phrases that might describe this interest include: narrative landscapes, narrative archeology, super-hyper-local journalism, embedded radio.

If you’re confused, this short article I wrote for Harvard’s Nieman Reports might help.

I think the more we understand about the places we move through day to day, the more care we take in the world.

For many years I was a Senior Correspondent for Marketplace, the national public radio show. I was the creator, host and senior correspondent of The Uncertain Hour, a documentary podcast about the intersection of history, public policy, and the lives of everyday people. You can find out more about that part of my brain and hear my stories for Marketplace here. A lot of the work showcased on this site was developed during or inspired by my time at the amazing Knight Journalism Fellowship at Stanford, where I got to work with the Stanford d.school, the Bill Lane Center for the American West and some very smart folks in the Computer Science Department to explore location-aware storytelling.
