2.23. Nuts and Bolts - Gatekeepers
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
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: Find a gatekeeper and reach out to him/her/them. Write an email or make a phone call, explaining your project or intentions and how he/she/they can help you get in contact with ideal narrators for your oral histories.
