“Waving Goodbye: Remembering a Mom Who Was Strong in Everything”

This podcast starts with a narrator explaining the background information to the story, then goes strictly to the daughter of the mother reminiscing over moments she shared with her mother that she remembers most. After she finishes talking for several minutes, sad music is played as an ending piece.

“Loving but Leaving the Military”

This podcast begins again with a narrator explaining the background information about the main focus of the podcast, a woman named Denise Baken. It then goes to Baken explaining her firsthand experiences of why the military was important to her as well as the memorable struggles she faced. The interviewer prompts her with several questions throughout her discussion. The podcast closes with some background music and the narrator explaining what happened to Baken after the moment she last described.

“Finding Sanctuary at Aunt Shirley’s Farm”

This podcast follows the same format as the other two, beginning with the narrator, then going to the interviewee recalling her experiences of the topic and being prompted by questions, then ending with background music. All three of these podcasts had a very serious and solemn tone in both the speakers’ voices as well as the music that was chosen. In this podcast specifically you can even hear the interviewee getting emotional at some points.
