This research focuses on telephone conversations between addressees and radio announcers. The main aim of this work is at describing, analysing and comparing, in two different radio programmes, the discursive strategies interactants adopt during the process of co-construction of their personal experiences by means of narratives. This investigation is framed by Interactional Sociolinguistics discursive micro-analysis (GUMPERZ, 1982; TANNEN, 1984, 1989; SCHIFFRIN, 1996). The results show that in each programme the personal account or narrative, besides functioning in search of closeness between interactants, also portrays the co-construction of social identities and the established functions of each of the programmes.
