2.40. Using Your Oral Histories – Transcribing

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: Transcribe, or begin to transcribe your interview.

**If you don’t have your own interview to transcribe, you are more than welcome to request a sample interview from me! Please reach out to us @SMCChistory #MoreandMoreEveryday and we’ll happily share our sample materials with you.
