There’s a whole generation whose lives are not on social media. Like a personal and private podcast, A Lasting Tale records the life stories of the elderly and the dying, gifting their families with insight and the memory and intimacy of a loved one’s voice.
When Dimity Brassil’s father and sister both died in a relatively short period, it was their voices that were achingly difficult to recall.
In 2018, Dimity pulled up a pew with her mum Anne, to record Anne’s life story and capture her unique voice.
Little did Dimity and Anne know that they would create a movement empowering older Australians to share their own life stories.
A Lasting Tale has now recorded over 1,500 life stories through professional interviews, a free mobile app, workshops and community programs. The business has over 40 interviewers across metropolitan and regional Australia and is growing rapidly.
In this episode, Dimity shares her background in journalism and adult education, as well as the personal experiences that led her to start A Lasting Tale. She discusses the importance of capturing the stories of older generations, who often have valuable lessons and experiences to share. Dimity also talks about the challenges of scaling the business and the importance of maintaining quality as the company grows.
