Great :)

This sounds good to me...

I'm not sure this is necessary as it's maybe more of a project to come
under an existing one. From the top of my head, FWN might be interested, or
we could maybe work it in the same way that we're doing the interviews.

The advantage of going either of these two routes is that we've got
experience with it and an existing audience.

To my mind, this is the most important question, and maybe you'd like to
think about these things:

 * How are you going to find people who have a story to tell?
 * How are they going to submit the story?
 * What format will they be presented in?
 * How will you let people know they exist?

Just my thoughts on the matter, might be that others disagree entirely with
me, but I at least think this is a great starting point :)
