2.50. Collecting, Archiving, and Analyzing – Caution for Oral Historians

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: Today’s challenge, therefore, is two-fold. Listen to or watch an interview you’ve previously recorded and evaluate your use of silences. Next, take a look at Sander’s suggestions linked in the show notes, select one, and give it a try.
