Montana Public Radio is very excited to share this first in a series of documentary specials to have come from StoryCorps' mobile tour visit to Missoula in 2022. This first episode focuses on telling stories of personal journeys of self discovery and growth, through diverse perspectives, and touches on issues of religion, civil rights, indigenous issues, values, identity, and much more. Give a listen!
