Why We Tell Their Stories: The Purpose Behind The Storykeepers Podcast

Welcome to the origin story of The Storykeepers…

If you’ve ever wished you could sit down with your grandparents one more time and ask them what life taught them—this podcast is for you.

Welcome to The Storykeepers, a podcast dedicated to preserving the real stories, hard-earned wisdom, and personal histories of our elders. Each episode is a conversation with someone who has lived a long, full life—not a celebrity, not a historian, but a real person with stories worth remembering.

Our guests include war veterans, lifelong teachers, artists, farmers, caregivers, and entrepreneurs—individuals who have seen the world change in ways most of us can barely imagine. What they share with us isn’t just nostalgia; it’s living history, told with humor, humility, and heart.

This podcast was created to serve two groups of people: those who wish they had recorded a loved one’s story before it was too late, and those looking to learn from voices of experience in a world that often forgets its elders.

Our goal? To create an audio time capsule that will outlive us—a digital archive of wisdom, memory, and human connection.

We hope you’ll tune in, follow along, and maybe even help us find the next great storyteller.

Because when a story is shared, a legacy lives on.
