Team Powdered Donut™ Podcast
Gary Thompson
Over the past ten years, Gary has honored his late wife, Maureen’s, memory by delivering bags of powdered donuts to meaningful places each year on October 21, the day of her passing. What began as a way to turn grief into joy has sparked powerful connections and moments of healing. Team Powdered Donut™ takes this tradition and makes it about all of us. "One Story. One Moment. One Donut at a time."The podcast is going "on the air" ahead of Team Powdered Donut heading out on the road via Airstream® in 2026 to visit all 73 NCI-designated comprehensive cancer centers and other meaningful locations along the way. At every stop, powdered donuts will be shared and stories will be collected – echoing the spirit of StoryCorps® – with a mobile podcast studio in the Airstream in which Gary will travel. From patients to those who love them, from oncologists to their healthcare teams, stories will be captured and shared along the way.
WMFE Presents StoryCorps Orlando
90.7 WMFE
StoryCorps collects the stories of everyday people in sound. The concept is simple: you bring a friend or loved one to a soundproof StoryCorps booth and interview them for 40 minutes. With your permission, another CD goes to the Library of Congress where it becomes part of a permanent collection at the Library of Congress. 90.7 WMFE and 89.5 WMFV brought the StoryCorps MobileBooth to the Orlando Museum of Art in January 2019 to collect stories from our community. Here are some of our favorite stories.

This is a podcast where I interview random people that I meet to prove that everyone has a story to tell. It's StoryCorps + Humans of New York, I guess.
