There's a version of your mum or dad you've never fully met.
The conversation you've been meaning to have? We make sure it actually happens — before the window closes.

Nobody stopped loving each other. Life just got in the way.
The rushed visits. The lunch that turned into coffee. The telly on in the background.
"You always assume there will be more time. Now is the time."
— Angus Watts, Son
You know the stories are in there — how they met, what they were like before you came along, the things they've never quite said out loud. You keep meaning to sit down and properly ask. But the visits stay rushed, the calls stay short, and "next time" keeps winning.
That gap sits somewhere. A quiet worry that you're already forgetting details you used to know by heart. Or that you never really knew this side of them at all — and might not get another chance to.
Here's the part that isn't really about being busy: even when you love someone completely, they're still hard to fully know. Asking someone that close the deep questions feels harder, somehow, than asking a stranger — so you assume they've told you already, and the not-knowing gets carried quietly instead of said out loud.
That's why this works better with someone objective in the room — someone who can listen deeply, with kindness, without your history getting in the way. It's a skill I've sharpened over 350 hours of doing exactly that. I know this drift first-hand too: my dad passed away in 2021, six days before my son was born, and there are stories of his I'll never hear now.
I know what it means to lose the window. That's why I built a way to open it — gently, properly, with someone in the room who isn't you. In 32 family projects, not one person has said they wish they'd waited.
This is what it sounds like.
Your Family. Your Stories. Your Voices.
▶ Tap to listen
Your parents' stories.In their voice.To enjoy now and forever.
An audio documentary of your parents' lives.
Six to sixteen hours of recorded conversation. Shaped into chapters. Delivered in 4 to 16 weeks.
You and your siblings come in too — gently, in the way that suits the experience you choose. Sometimes that's a short prompt sheet. Sometimes a joint session in the room together. Sometimes one-to-one interviews of your own. We work that out together.
"Familiarity is a funny thing. You can know someone your whole life and still only know half their story. This is how you find the rest."
"It's such an overwhelming feeling of who he was... I know I'm going to go back and listen to it so many more times." — Sarah Blake, wife
We have a conversation
A free 20-minute Discovery Call. You tell me about your family — who's involved, what you're hoping for. I tell you honestly whether it's something I can help with.
We choose the right experience together
There are three ways to do this. Most families choose Silver — the whole family in it together, siblings included. We'll find the right fit for yours.
We record it, properly
With your parent. With your siblings. With the family. I lead every one. One son told his dad they were doing this. His dad — still missing his own mother — said, "I realised how much I wish I'd asked her before she died." The shift starts there, before we've recorded a word.
It's yours, forever
Edited, produced, and chapter-arranged into your finished Audio Documentary. Yours to listen to today. To pass on later.
There is no better time than now.
The memories, details, voice will never be sharper.
Delaying is a risk you don't need to take.
"It just re-centers you as a family… I can think of nothing else like it."
"This exercise — it's like tying the knot again."

Book Your Discovery CallI've cried. I've laughed uncontrollably. I've learned things I never knew about my parents. This process has brought us closer and, without realising it, broken down barriers I didn't even know were there.
Steve Millard · Son
There is nothing else our family should have spent the time doing.
Laura Frith · Daughter
I'd have paid ten times more.
Dominic McMullan · Son
I don't think anyone has ever given him so much attention without anyone interrupting him — so that's been so nice. I'll be forever grateful.
Annika Johansson · Daughter
Me & My Old Man is the best thing we have done in years. The end result means our children will have a living memory of not only our voices, but our memories.
Jennifer Millard · Mum
It's not really a decision. Just go and do it — because it will be some of the best money you've spent.
Chris Walton · Son
Three ways to do this. One decision.
There are three ways to do this. We work out the right fit together — on the call.

All tiers: full money-back guarantee after your parent's first session. In 32 projects, never invoked. Not once.
The first call is a 20-minute Discovery — I'm listening, learning your family. If it feels right, I'll come back with a recommendation and the detail of how it works.
The window is open right now.
There's no version of this where waiting makes it better.
I've worked with a family whose dad had a terminal cancer diagnosis. Eight weeks after we finished, he passed away.
A family whose mum's dementia moved faster than anyone expected. We lost the window for her story before we could open it. We're continuing the experience with her husband — capturing his story, and theirs together.
A friend whose colleague lost his wife's parent suddenly — completely out of nowhere — and he'd been meaning to mention this project for months. He said it plainly: "I wish I'd made it happen with you."
What fades first isn't the story.
It's the detail. The texture. The names.
The feeling of being in that room.
Every month that passes, that detail goes a little quieter.
Your parent still remembers. Your siblings are still gatherable.
The window is open right now.
"Do it now. Don't let those memories fade away."
— Tiffany, Daughter

Four Silver projects. September is filling now.
I can only commit to four Silver family projects per month. That's the limit of doing this well — properly, personally, with no corners cut.
One of the September slots is already committed.
Three slots remain for September.
That's exactly why I'd rather fill these last few slots with families who already trust this than strangers off an advert — see the referral on the next page.
"I promise you won't regret it."
— Edward Finley · Son
