Once you have secured the requested speakers, reach out to them yourself or introduce your students to the speaker they will be working with via phone or email to discuss the details of the interview. • Decide which recording platform you will be using. If the interview is to take place remotely, ensure they are sent any meeting links for Zoom, Skype, etc. • Ask them for any additional information about themselves or their service, so students can prepare appropriately for the interview(s). • Set expectations for the time and duration of the visit. We recommend allowing 2 hours for the interview, which will allow students time to circle back to questions if needed. • Discuss whether the attendees will be on video and/or audio (if conducted remotely). Assign speakers to your students and provide them with the speaker’s general information and their service details. Students will research aspects of service related to their assigned speaker in order to enter the interview with a strong understanding of their speaker and their service. Note If you are unable to interview a Memory Project speaker, have students choose a testimony from a veteran in the Memory Project archive to feature in their podcast episodes, or use one of the following recommended testimonies. We recommend you read all testimonies before assigning them to students.
