Sum of Ages
Sum of Ages is a growing audio archive of human experience.
Each episode preserves one person’s voice - speaking in their own words about a lived experience that has shaped how they see the world. Across hundreds of topics, the project gathers stories of loss and happiness, failure and purpose, regret and resilience - without performance or expectation.
The long-term aim is simple and ambitious: to accumulate one million years of lived experience, creating a public library of real voices that can be returned to when guidance, recognition, or quiet company is needed.
Sum of Ages exists as a reminder that whatever we are carrying, someone else has carried something like it before - and chose to speak.
Sum of Ages
24 years of life, and CANCER, with Keegan.
Being a teenager and young adult is difficult. Navigating identity, social spheres, school, thinking about the future. No one at that stage in life is thinking about being diagnosed with cancer. That is exactly what happened to this episode’s guest, Keegan. This episode explores his diagnosis and recovery from cancer. How Keegan navigates his life and travels, with a lens of gratitude, optimism and joy is nothing short of amazing. I am honored to call this Keegan a friend, and I have no doubt listeners will enjoy his story. And what makes this episode special, is that it happens to be his 24th birthday.
