Your stories of the past ten years

The World

We’ve been poring over the 2010 census results, but dry, statistical information only goes so far. So we’ve been asking you how your lives have changed over the past 10 years. We’ve gotten tremendous responses all around, but one from Takeaway listener Heather Hudson really caught our attention. Heather shares her story.

Are you with The World?

The story you just read is available to read for free because thousands of listeners and readers like you generously support our nonprofit newsroom. Every day, the reporters and producers at The World are hard at work bringing you human-centered news from across the globe. But we can’t do it without you: We need your support to ensure we can continue this work for another year.

When you make a gift of $10 or more a month, we’ll invite you to a virtual behind-the-scenes tour of our newsroom to thank you for being with The World.
