This week was a great first week of the brand new PLP project. I am definitely feeling rusty but I am excited to begin a new project with new possibility’s. Without having to guess at this point I just assumed that we would be making some sort of podcasts, I was right. So let me layout my thinking for this week.

The first thing we had to do was conduct our archival interview. I was partnered with Ben. In general our interview went very well. Although I still feel like I learned something new. I think I need to work on reading between the lines when interviewing people. In this interview when we asked what her husband did she told us but didn’t mention what company. When we followed up she was not happy and clearly didn’t want to talk about it. Being able to predict that reaction before it happened may have improved the rest of the interview.

The evolution of mountain biking in the cove is my topic. I think this is a Perfect topic because it really easily fits into my podcast. Ms. Maxwell has found me a very interesting interviewee although I have yet to get a response. My plan is to connect the technology changes and growth of mtb with the general theme of what happened In Canada post WW2.

Overall it’s good to be back and I am excited for what’s to come.
