Blue Snowball Microphone

Exploring and comprehending the narratives of my ancestors has provided comfort during challenging times and moments of uncertainty. Recognizing the value in preserving our family's personal histories, I decided to initiate an effort to encourage some relatives to document their life stories. To facilitate this, I crafted a document featuring a set of questions, along with instructions for recording on both Windows and iOS platforms. Additionally, I invested in microphones to enhance the recording process.

Given my brother-in-law's profession as a pilot, I selected a portable microphone suitable for his travels. For my dad and Dylan's father, I opted for Blue Snowball Mics, which happen to be among my favorites. This creative initiative not only fosters engagement but also enables the creation of a recorded legacy that can positively impact future generations.
