Episode notes

Reflections on communication, memory, and grief after the passing of a loved one, exploring how conversations with the departed shape future interactions and the enduring impact of memories on life.

Lissa Soep is an audio producer, editor and author whose latest book is Other People’s Words: Friendship, Loss, and the Conversations That Never End.

“I am so keenly aware of how much my own voice is a product of editing relationships and co-producing relationships with other people's words. … I will forever feel indebted to those then young people who are now writers and educators and therapists. … I feel like my voice is sort of a product of that time.”
