Podcasting (The two photos here are podcast workshops, one, top, led by Bob Shepherd, and the second, below, by Reinout Van Wagtendonk.  Mark Mills, another radio journalist, taught our interns one summer.  Both Reinout and Bob are actively involved with our center.  And we are grateful.  In 2023, Reinout trained a faculty member and a student, and the student produced his first podcast. He is working on his second.  https://soundcloud.com/alex-conklin-866694702

We create podcasts using oral history interviews. We want to provide a glimpse of the story, for those who cannot listen to the longer interview.

Story Circles.  This is an option for people who want to initiative story telling and want to do it with a group, for community building purposes, and also for ease and  efficiency, as compared with individual interviews. Up to 12 people can gather and have conversations based on a theme.

Symposiums.  We have organized several day-long symposiums, usually in the month of May.
