Created by StoryCorps, One Small Step is an effort to remind the country of the humanity in all of us, even those with whom we disagree. The initiative brings strangers with different political views together to record a 50-minute conversation—not to debate politics, but to learn who we are as people. Audio recordings of each interview are archived at the Library of Congress.

Alice & friends visit Aman Park, a nature preserve in Grand Rapids, Michigan, to learn about foraging ramps, a wild edible plant. They discuss their personal experiences with foraging and the importance of building a respectful relationship with the land. The conversation highlights the significance of foraging as a way to connect with nature, honor ancestral traditions, and promote sustainable practices.
