"The APA manual doesn't actually tell us how to cite an interview, but we can extrapolate from what they do tell us and we follow the basic form. The basic form for an APA citation is author, date, title and then if there's a publisher we would include that. But here what we're going to say for the title and publisher and everything is personal interview. And the date, you give the exact date, not the year, you give 6 June, 2004, whatever it is. The author's name in this case is the person you interviewed. Last name first. You don't have to underline or italicize the words personal interview because even though it's serving as a title, it's more of a description than a title so you don't do that. So pretty straightforward really, even if they don't tell us how to do we can figure it out."
