It's the second season of the More and More Every Day Podcast. Join us every day for short (10 minute) episodes to talk all things oral history and challenge yourself with a daily oral history prompt.

Today's prompt: Create a biographical questionnaire. A sort of profile of your narrator that you develop with or about them before the interview.

Come up with 7-10 factual details you’d like to know about the person you will interview in advance. In a future challenge, we can discuss how you might go about getting this information. But for now, just create your ideal biographical questionnaire!
