Podcast Description
For my Final Year Project as a BA in Modern Languages, I interviewed two family members interested in their ancestry to create a one-off podcast episode.
I selected and moulded clips from these interviews to explore themes within the field of humanities, intertwining their oral accounts and histories of past ancestors with my academic research.
Ultimately, exploring why amateur grassroots heritage can be valuable to individuals, and strengthen bonds within communities.
