    Do It Yourself 1. Pick a storyteller.

    Start your own interview by figuring out whom you want to


    interview. A grandparent? An old friend? A former teacher?
    The person you invite might be hesitant. “I don’t have much
    to say,” he’ll say, or, “You already know everything about my
    life.” Remind your friend, your cousin—whoever it is—that
    his life story is important and that you will create a recording
    that will last for years. Let that person know you would be
    honored to record his story.

    2. Create a question list.

    No matter how well you know your storyteller, a little prepa-


    ration will improve the quality of your interview enormously.
    What are the important aspects of your storyteller’s life? What
    would you like to learn from that person? We’ve designed a
    question generator to make preparing questions a little easier.
    You can find it at www.StoryCorps.net.

    Here are some questions that have yielded great responses:


    * What have you learned in life?
    * What does your future hold?
    * What are you most proud of?
    * Do you have any regrets?
    * What was the happiest moment of your life? The saddest?
    * Is there something about yourself that you think no one knows?
    * How would you like to be remembered?

    We’ve also found that at the end of a session it can be power-


    ful to turn the tables and tell the person you’re interviewing

    3. Purchase or borrow recording equipment
    We want StoryCorps to spark a revolution (and get comfortable with it).

    that listening is an act of love.
    suggest that you practice using your equipment before you sit
    down for your interview.
    If you want to participate in StoryCorps but
