Life Stories
There’s no time like the present to preserve the past. Life Stories is a bespoke, personal oral history recording service to ensure memories can last forever.
Have you ever thought you should record a relative or friend talking about their life? Wish you’d recorded a grandparent or parent’s stories? Or maybe you want to document your own stories and memories for future generations.

Three simple stages
Consultation
We talk by telephone or email about who is being recorded, what matters to them and how you would like the finished piece to sound.
Recording
The interview takes place at the client’s location or in studio, guided with a light touch so the conversation flows naturally.
Production
Your interview is edited, produced and packaged into a broadcast quality audio recording ready for future generations.
Why record a life story now?
Communication begins with listening. A recorded conversation is the closest thing we have to a person’s own voice, their own cadence and their own way of remembering.
Life Stories exists to make that recording practical: a calm, professional session and a finished piece you can pass on to family, whether the subject is a grandparent, a parent, a friend or yourself.
“The details that seem too small to matter now are usually the ones a family misses later.”
Common questions

Email Life StoriesLife Stories is our approach to recorded interviews, where ordinary people share the memories and moments that shaped them. Working as a podcast training and production company in Bristol, we travel to clients' locations or welcome speakers into a studio, depending on what suits the conversation, then deliver a broadcast quality recording that has been edited, produced and packaged. It is a format built for organisations and businesses that want to educate, enlighten and inspire, using listening and careful production as tools to affect positive change.
