How My Grandparents Met [2/? 2026]


Earlier this year, I collaborated with a friend to make a short audio documentary. The documentary is 17 minutes long, and features recordings of 14 people describing how their grandparents met. I loved working on this project, and all of the stories that came from it. You can listen to the documentary here.

If you know how your grandparents met, I would love for you to send me the story in an email, or through a voice note!
