Make Your Story A Part of Our Virtual Movie Trailer

The Takeaway

Cosmos, meteors, death…the world is a dramatic place. Some might say it’s stranger than fiction. And we know that in the case of our listeners real life is certainly more interesting.
And so, The Takeaway and our Movie Date team are asking you to help us create the ultimate audio movie trailer, using your real life stories. All we need is for you to give us a sentence or two – a dramatic sentence, or a strange sentence, or a comedic sentence – about your life.
You can submit your sentences to us on twitter using hashtag #inaworld. Or you can call us at 877-8-MYTAKE.
We’ll combine all the sentences into one, sound-rich audio trailer that will be coming to the radio airwaves very soon.
In the event that you need some inspiration, the Takeaway staff have created a trailer of their own, using all their own lives.

Do you support journalism that strengthens our democracy?

At The World, we believe strongly that human-centered journalism is at the heart of an informed public and a strong democracy. We see democracy and journalism as two sides of the same coin. If you care about one, it is imperative to care about the other.

Every day, our nonprofit newsroom seeks to inform and empower listeners and hold the powerful accountable. Neither would be possible without the support of listeners like you. If you believe in our work, will you give today? We need your help now more than ever!
