This is great, Harrison. Not only to have the list, but with examples of each form. It’s obvious from your Loom video how excited you are about this. And you’re so right about the importance of acting in the moment when an idea hits us.
Here’s a suggestion for a possible form to add to the library: a job ad. See edition 251 of Charlie Bleecker’s Transparent Tuesdays.
...haha didn't even realize that could be a joke -- oral history is literally my favoritie form of non-fiction -- Studs Terkel my personal hero (also Legs McNeil and peak interview era Howard Stern, etc.) -- I love oral histories and interviews all to say so if that works you got it bud
Bro, please, enlighten me! I’m currently ignorant of oral history. Please fill me in. Can you find 3 different types? I’d love to learn more. Thanks man 🙏🏼
