Conversations worth keeping, gently recorded
The Last Word Podcast
An intimate, unhurried podcast where people share the stories, memories and reflections they most want to leave behind.
What to expect
How it works
Richard or one of our trained interviewers visits you wherever you feel most at ease — a kitchen table, a favourite bench, a quiet room. Conversations are recorded only with full, ongoing consent, and are shaped entirely around what you want to say. Episodes can be shared publicly, kept privately for family, or both — the choice is always yours.
Some of the most important things a person ever says are also the easiest to lose — a story told once at a family gathering, a joke that only made sense in their voice, the quiet truth shared at the end of a long afternoon.
The Last Word Podcast exists to capture conversations like these properly: recorded with good equipment, edited with care, and handled always with the consent and wishes of the person at the centre of them. Some people choose to share their episode with the world. Many choose to keep it just for their family. Both are equally valued, and equally looked after.
There is no script, no agenda, and no rush. We simply create the conditions for someone to speak freely — and then we listen.
