“The past beats inside me like a second heart.” John Banville
NEW PODCAST EPISODE: The last episode of series 3, which told Stories of 2020, comes from Vicky, Caylee and Therese.
DISCUSSION:
The episode centres on the power of memories. We speak of the narrative communion we felt whilst narrating other people’s memories and being thus made part of someone else’s life and perspective, particularly in times when meeting people was so much less possible.
This is the series we both most enjoyed producing and we leave it with a heavy heart. It is the series which offered the two of us a fast track lesson in humanity, with all its facets and all its beauty.
RECOMMENDATION:
We recommend Rashomon, a film which centres on the power of stories and storytelling.
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
The series has closed, but we still accept stories of 2020. If possible, I would like to bring all the stories together, into something which can last through time. So please send your story
