A good interview can challenge and illuminate. It can explore paths neither the interviewer nor interviewee expected. How do we create a space for our interview subjects to best reveal themselves and their ideas?

Drawing on techniques from documentary interviewing, this course explores how storytellers of all stripes might make the most of their interviews— before, during and after the actual interaction.
