5 Case Study 1 - Leicester Research Archive - University of Leicester

Listening to the interviews you have done so far, one can hear that the
interviewer was very well prepared. Is there a lot of work going into the pre-
production process?
Dave Anderson (Towneley Hall): No, in this case the preparation did not take a
great deal of time. The first series of podcasts were all related to an exhibition.
The people that we interviewed came to the museum to talk to children anyway,
as part of an educational activity. So we took notes as they were talking to the
children and then after a break we did the interviews. It probably sounds more
pre-planned as it was.
How did you find those people?
Dave Anderson (Towneley Hall): We work with a national charity, which helped
identify people who might be interested in taking part in our activities. We held a
few sessions before we started doing the actual activities. In those sessions we
talked about what we would like to do and we got them to agree that the
activities are being recorded.
