Story Corps Interview Reflection-Anne Griffin
By Janie Phillips
Anne Griffin and Janie Phillips
For my Story Corps interview I decided the interview my grandmother. She lives in upstate New York and because of the distance we only see each other a few times a year. The process of interviewing her was to some degree difficult because I'm not used to taking to her in such a formal way, so it took a bit of adjustment in my own head, however overall it was very positive.
My grandmother had good responses to all my questions and there wasn't a lot of interruptions or distractions, even though it was happening in a very busy house. I learned some about my grandmother that I didn't know but I also just enjoyed having a little bit of time to talk to her one on one, as we usually spend the limited time we have together with the rest of my family as well.
What I learned about the interviewing process was that it can be difficult to seem engaged while not interrupting the speaker. Overall it was a really fun process and I look forward to interviewing other people in the future!
I thought it was cool that you learned new things about your grandmother who you don't see very often!
