Although we didn’t need a script because our podcast consisted of interviews and chatty speech between James, Adam and Jess, we still needed pointers to help us out. As a result, for the interview section we had a set of questions that we would stick to which would allow our podcast to flow much more smoothly. It was also necessary to remember to branch off the questions during the interviewing, to ensure we could probe for more answers, and let them go off on more tangents to discover their true opinions and back story. We would also need to take into account their skill that they possess, and tailor questions around the hobby, but the following questions were used just to create some sort of structure to each interview:
1. Name and bit about yourself, what skill is it you have?
2. When did the skill start and how did you get involved?
3. In the beginning were you mentored or influenced by someone that spurred you on?
4. A far as your skill goes you seem very natural (advanced/gifted), how much practice does it take to get to this stage or have you always had a knack for it?
5. Where and when (how often) in your life do you do your skill, is anyone else involved with it?
6. In terms of passing on skills and learning that isn’t in the standard prescribed curriculum, how significant is the skill in your mind?
For the speech part of the podcast, we needed a brief structure a well, so we knew who was leading which interview discussion, as well as what points we would cover, this is illustrated in the below PDF.
