Oral history interviews take us to fascinating places. And I don’t just mean geographically (although that’s true too). They take us to the inner circle of our narrators, offering glimpses into what people choose to surround themselves with – be it at their homes or work or somewhere in between. We’ve seen dirty dishes in the sink, glimpsed high-finish gloss on a desk, heard the whirring of machines used for scientific discovery, stood on a music stage before the audience files in, and walked through herds of sheep on a coastal farm.
