Every week, participants log onto a Zoom call, where a facilitator offers up two prompts (examples might include “What was the greatest historical event you lived through?” or “Did your parents have a story about you they loved to tell?”).

Then, other members of the club take turns sharing stories. They are also given the opportunity to record and preserve their stories to be added to a digital library or shared with loved ones.

If that's helping people great, but it sounds like hell to me.

Chances are the program is opt-in, and if not you can probably zone out and pay zero attention if you do not want to participate. ;)

I imagine it's a bunch of lonely old folks with nobody else to talk to.
