Beta Testers Needed: We’re exploring ways to expand the Media Fandom Oral History project into a DIY effort along the lines of Story Corps. What we’re looking for:

Two (or more) fandom friends willing (a) to interview one another (aka rambling fandom chats) and (b) to include their recordings into the existing oral history project

We need fans to test these methods

*Fans willing to chat with each another over phones using a conference call system

*Fans willing to chat with each another over Skype in connection with free recording software (we need people willing to test both PC and Mac)

*Fans willing to do chat with each another in person using free iPhone or Android recording software on their smartphones

Once done, you will upload the audio files into a Dropbox account. A permission form will also need to be signed by both parties and uploaded (scanned or photographed copies are fine).  There will also be a set of sample questions you can use.
