Who are the new Reflections Interviewers? - Behind the Pod

This year we started a hunt for great humans with a very specific set of skills.

We were looking for elite long-form interviewers who were great listeners, warm, empathetic - and comfortable operating podcast recording equipment.

The recruits were for our Reflections Interview team – our business that records and preserves your most precious memories and stories.

And there were two names that jumped off the page.

Award winning journo Suzanne McFadden has been absolutely nailing the remit since starting with us in October, and today we’re delighted to announce the addition of one of our favourite B2B guests of all time – Mark Stafford.

Staffy is the perfect fit for this space. If you’ve listened to his episode – you’ll know exactly what we mean.

And now he’s available to research you/your beloved family members’ life, then craft an engaging and insightful two-hour conversation that captures all the most meaningful moments from it.

The private recordings can be passed down through generations, so your families' incredible stories aren’t lost. We are so proud of this service and the team we’ve built to deliver it. And we can make vouchers for Christmas pressies!!!

The feedback from Reflections interviews has been nothing short of inspiring. We’ve compiled some of our favourites below:

Testimonials

"Stories We Didn’t Even Know" 

“This was a fantastic experience. It opened up conversations that revealed stories none of us knew about my dad’s life. The process was seamless, and I’ve shared it with extended family, so everyone has a copy. It’s been a wonderful way to preserve Dad’s memories and share his life with the entire family.”

"A Treasure for Our Family"

“Our parents have an amazing story, and this memoir captured it beautifully, in their own words. Steve made them feel so comfortable, and by the end, they were laughing together and sharing stories like never before. What started as a gift to our parents has become an incredible treasure for our family. It’s something we’ll cherish forever, and I know its full value will only grow with time. Thank you for giving us this priceless memory.”

"A Time Stamp for Myself"

“At 26, I wanted to capture where I am in life and revisit it every decade. The process made me reflect deeply on my journey and even gave me confidence in myself. It was mentally and emotionally draining in the best way, leaving me feeling validated and inspired. This is a legacy piece I’ll look back on with pride, and the professional, seamless process made it an unforgettable experience. Everyone has a story, and this is one of the best things I’ve ever done.”
