Sam.wav - Teaser

History often gets a bad rap in schools. After all, the critics claim, what could be more pointless or infuriating than memorizing random dates and the names of battles over a hundred years ago? STORI believes that history is to be explored as a story – specifically, the individual's story. Through oral history accounts, STORI is exploring the history of Samford University and Birmingham, AL, trying to uncover the nuances to the larger bare-bones framework and "uncompress" the history around us. In this teaser, hear a sneak peek at our upcoming episodes as well as the reasoning behind our name and a small history of Samford. Find more about our program at www.oralhistory.samford.com and our social media on Twitter (@su_stori), Instagram (@samford_stori), Facebook, and blog (samfordhistory.com). The introduction theme song to Sam.wav was composed by Kerry Joiner. The music used in this show comes from the Free Music Archive. The songs used were, in order of appearance, "Tiny Putty" and "Milkwood" by the Blue Dot Sessions, "Arise" by Podington Bear, and "Liptis" and "Town Market" by the Blue Dot Sessions.
