In this first episode, podcast host and founder of The Story of a Life, Ray Hardman makes his introductions. He’ll reflect back on his long career in public radio and television, and how that led to family storytelling, and the impetus for The Story of a Life.
Ray also has some stories to share, like Anne's, who in her youth was a member of the Canadian National Track and Field Team.
And we'll hear from the Chiarappa's, who discovered early in their courtship a photograph that connected both families decades earlier.
