Show Notes

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: Read about establishing boundaries with your narrators.  Do some research, then make a list of dos and don’ts for yourself.
