If you’re near us in Southwest Michigan, we’re happy to record in person. If not, we have had wonderful luck recording interviews over Zoom, & can even send a tiny, easy to use microphone to use during our conversations if you’d like pro sound quality. We’ll talk it over during our initial call.

Walk through step-by-step here. And remember: we custom-design every project, so if you have unique needs or goals, we’ll meet them.

We start every Remember This project with a “get to know you” call, & during that time we’ll talk over the stories you most want to document & how best to approach them. We also recommend at least one follow-up interview, since the process almost always rouses old memories. Second interviews are often truly incredible.

Sure! If you wish to be recorded in conversation with your loved one, we can help guide the conversation, or step back & let you lead the way. The way we record & produce group interviews is a little different, and pricing varies; we’ll talk all that over prior to beginning.

Because we custom-design every project, we love to get a sense of people’s needs and budget first. Just know that we do this because we love it, and coming from public media, we have a special understanding of limited budgets :) We almost always can figure out a plan, even on a modest budget. Contact us — no pressure!

Fun. Meaningful. Easy.

One of the highest compliments we’ve gotten (and we’ve actually gotten it alot) is that sitting with us in an interview is alot like an amazing, breakthrough therapy session.

We listen with patience, empathy, & curiosity. We bring the best out of people, & we get so much joy in return.

We have decades of experience helping people tell their stories. We’ve won national awards and fellowships. We’ve worked with everyone from ESPN to NPR to the National Holocaust Museum. And we’re an actual married couple living an actual life: real humans! With us, you get personal care and interaction: not an impersonal app or AI (as many oral history companies, like StoryWorth, rely on).
