Why record oral history?
Talking points to prompt discussion e.g. family albums, photographs
Ethical considerations
Creating a timeline
Eliciting a good story
Equipment and other technical issues
Editing and sharing the interview
Presented by Julia and Rick Goldsmith of Catcher Media

NB: We had some lovely feedback from Jack about Episode One which he left as a voice message, which you can listen to. Please send us your messages.
