Press Record: The Sohp Podcast

In our pilot episode, we discuss silence and power in oral history. Can oral history teach us to be better listeners? Can we learn how to pay attention--not just to what is being said, but to what isn't? We'll talk with Southern Oral History Program founding Director Jacquelyn Dowd Hall about a 1974 interview with Katherine DuPre Lumpkin that is shot through with silences; you'll get tips on how to handle it a question you ask leads to a long silence; and we'll hear clips from our collection in which three different women talk about the relationship between silence and their own activism.
