An Insanely Comprehensive List of 260 Pop-Culture Oral Histories

In recent years, the oral-history format has become such a ubiquitous presence in entertainment journalism that it's almost weird to see a day go by without another one being added to the heap. But even though the motif is a bit tired -- and we're doing ourpart in running the reporting technique into the ground -- a well-crafted oral history is still hard to resist. But where to find them when you need them? To help you find the oral history that's right for you, we've compiled this exhaustive list of 260 pop-culture oral histories we could find online. We'll keep updating this as long as entertainment writers keep publishing oral histories, which is almost certainly happening somewhere, right this very second.
