A: Evelyn: Charles, RE: How to CITE an INFORMAL INTERVIEW not for media or publication:
YOU DO NOT NEED A CITATION REFERENCE IN YOUR REFERENCE LIST at the end FOR AN INFORMAL "PERSONAL COMMUNICATION"
Continuing from the above search here is one method in APA:
Since this was a "personal interview" you can find instructions in the 7th edition of your APA manual
as
1. a "personal communication " on pages 65, 260-261 (8.9) is the section
OR
2. as a "personal interview" on page 259 (8.7) is the section
the type of interview it seems you are doing is not a published interview and it is not an in-depth research type interview
so I think yours might fall into the category of a "personal communication". When a recoverable source is not available.
There are two ways to cite "in- text" in these cases in the APA 7 style manual (see page 60 in your APA 7 Manual:
1. Narrative citation: M. Ward (personal communication, September 11, 2022)
2. Parenthetical citation: (M. Ward, personal communication, September 11,2022)
Joseph Gibaldi wrote in the MLA Style Manual & Lists an Example: found on page 307 Section: B.1. 7
g. An Interview (5.8.7)
"personal interview, 22 July 1993"
You should get yourself an APA and MLA handbook as an essential to research in higher education.
