StoryCorps questions

Samantha came across this list of interview questions and wanted to share it with the class. Many of them are good, provocative questions. But if you're interviewing someone who's reticent or vague, I suggest reshaping questions like "Do you have any regrets?" The answer will be no, which doesn't add much to your picture of the person. Instead, ask it more pointedly: "What's your greatest regret?" Your interviewee will be less likely to duck it.
