This podcast began with a single conversation.

Before my grandfather passed away, I sat down with him and asked him about his life, where he was from, the people he loved, the moments that shaped him. At the time, I didn’t realize how meaningful that conversation would become.

After he was gone, I found myself wishing I had done the same with so many others in my life. I wished I had asked more questions. I wished I had listened longer. I wished I had captured their voices before time quietly moved on.

The Memory Tapes exists because of that wish.

Each episode is a guided conversation designed to preserve the stories, laughter, lessons, and moments that make up a life. Not the polished version, but the real one. The memories we carry, the people who shaped us, the stories that still make us smile.

This is a place to slow down, to listen, and to hold on to what matters. While we still can.
