Before you begin to collect examples of folklore for your podcast, you will need to create a script. For example, let’s say you wanted to produce a podcast on the “True Aggie” tradition at Utah State University. To do so you would need to write a script for your podcast that includes:
Brief information on yourself
Information on college initiation
Context for True Aggie initiation/event
An interview with one or two people about their experience becoming a “True Aggie”
Conclude your podcast with commentary and/or analysis about the tradition at USU: function(s) it serves, changes that have occurred over time (why) and components that have stayed constant (why)
