Celebrate the people you love and share stories
A podcard is a single edition personalised podcast for someone you love.
Made from recorded messages from friends and family, a podcard is professionally edited and mixed with music to form an audiobook of memories.
Podcards are a way to document the lives of those we love through shared storytelling.
They’re a way to communicate the things we feel but rarely say, and bring our communities together, no matter where they reside.
How it works
1. Choose your podcard
Head to the podcard shop - you can buy a small podcard for 7 to 12 voices, or a large podcard for 13 to 30 voices.
2. Record your messages
You’ll receive instructions on how to record and upload a podcard message with your smartphone. Forward the instructions to your loved one’s favourite people. We’ll update you each time someone in your group submits a recording.
3. Receive your podcard
We edit, mix and master the audio contributions into a single edition podcast with music. We send the finished podcard to you as a MP3 download.
4. Give your podcard
Send the podcard to your loved one. Or better still, head to their place, make a cup of tea and listen together. Share in their delight at hearing the voices of their favourite people, recounting stories and memories from their life.
“Like an explosion in a love factory! Couldn’t stop listening. Made my heart swell.”
