So im taking this broadcasting class at school, my teacher is howard simon from wgr 550 (badass, i know!!!) he gave us this project to interview elderly people above the age of 60, comparing tv from when they were my age to today. im pretty sure he knew he was throwing us into a pit of snakes. lol heres my interviewing experience from today… so im out and about in east aurora today trying to get some interviews in. i figured east aurora is a nice town full of friendly elderly people, WRONG! i mean these people are nuts, i explained to them that i was trying to do a project for school and i just needed 3-5 minutes of their time. i made it a point a tell them, “your not going to be in buffalo new or seen on tv” (some people worry about that). One lady told me to get away from her before she hit me with her cane. I was fearing for my life at this point. my next stop was the local barbershop. OH MAN! these guys were ready to go! i actually got my best interview from a guy waiting to get his haircut. the next guy, eh not so lucky. he said he doesnt do surveys. fair enough, i guess if you want to call it then, its alright. So all in all, i guess it was alright, but man, i hope i never have to interview people above 60 ever again. ---

It’s tough enough to get a basic no camera interview, let alone carrying all that gear. People see you coming and take off, lol. ---
