Kitchen Sisters Interviewing & Recording Workshop

Davia is conducting a 3-hour basic recording and interviewing workshop on Thursday, June 25 at 10:00 AM in San Francisco.

It is intended not just for people in radio, but those interested in oral history and others who would like to learn interviewing skills for the projects that they do. We will cover miking technique, sound gathering, use of archival audio, how to make interviewees comfortable, how to frame your questions, and how to listen (which is harder than it looks).

The fee is $100. Of course, there will be a snack.

If you'd like to attend or would like more information, please send us an email at kitchen@kitchensisters.org
