Personalized podcasts

If you’d like to have an oral history from a loved one, check out Artifact. The company enlists professional interviewers — many say they are “moonlighting journalists” — to conduct an interview with your subject.

An interview focuses on a “chapter” of a person’s life, such as childhood and the teen years. The audio is then edited to a 20-minute, studio-quality episode.

The cost is $119 per episode or $99 per episode for three. A finished product is delivered within five days of the recording.
