Interviews

Reading Nicole Williams essay on her interview process at the bowling alley was done in a very interesting way. Instead of reading about a typical Q&A process the author uses a different approach in her writing where she merely puts down the conversations between herself and women in the bowling leagues without making it seem like I was reading an interview. Through one woman talking who is an experienced member of the bowling alley we are given a much broader view of the establishment as a whole and other members that take part regularly in the bowling alley. Interviews are a great was to get to the nitty gritty details of a place because more often then not people who've been there for years will probably have no problem telling you their pros and cons of a certain place. A great example of a casual but informative interview is from Hank Green a member of the Youtube famous duo the Nerd Fighters or VlogBrothers. Below is a video of Hank interviewing his local mayor:
