Podcast Interview Plan

Our group decided to do our podcast on R.A.s, specifically those of south campus. We hope to find out what exactly goes into being an R.A. and what kinds of things they deal with on a daily basis. We assigned roles as follows:
Evan: Interviewer
Kimberlyn: Interviewer/Scriptwriter
Kristina: Editor/Host
Shawnee: Editor/Host
Taylor: Interviewer
Our interviewers are going to interview about 4-5 R.A.s (male and female), students in the dorms, and a hall director. All interviewing will be finished by Sunday evening to allow enough time for audio editing. The following questions will be asked during all interviews:

  1. What sparked your interest in becoming an R.A.?
  2. Why did you decide to become an R.A.?
  3. Did you have to give up anything to be an R.A. (i.e. sport, club, other job, etc.)?
  4. What is the most difficult part of being an R.A.?
  5. How do you balance your time with work and classes?
  6. What advice would you give to others who are interested in this position?
  7. What is the weirdest/most unexpected thing that has ever happened to you as an R.A?
  8. Can you tell a story of a time where you had to deal with a serious situation and the outcome of it?
  9. What are some of the benefits of being an R.A.?
  10. How do R.A.s and hall directors work together?
  11. Do you feel like you are a part of a community?
  12. Do you feel more like an enemy to residents in the hall or a friend?
  13. What is your least favorite aspect of this position?
  14. How often are you allowed to go home?
  15. Do you ever get lonely living in a room by yourself, or do you enjoy it?
  16. Do you plan on being an R.A. next year or advancing to another position?
