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: First, write your philosophy of shared authority when it comes to oral history work. I encourage you to do some research in developing your philosophy. Then, establish a plan for following this philosophy for every interview you conduct.
