Worth Every Penny!
This is such a wonderful company and service. They did a great job interviewing my grandma and having the podcast episodes for the family to listen to is a great Christmas present. The interviews were super easy to prepare for and the episodes were delivered quickly and very well done.

An absolute treasure!
I commissioned Tales for my father and I just got the first one back - it is a TREASURE. I learned things about my dad that I never knew, and heard some old favorite stories as well. My dad loved the process of being interviewed. This will be a treasured family heirloom. Thank you so much!

Priceless!
This was a wonderful experience and a chance for me to share things that have been not been discussed with my daughter. Now she will have some of those memories to keep forever. Mark seemed to know just what to ask to elicit those replies that I didn't even know I had in me!

Priceless family heirloom
We decided that hearing your own family tell their own story in their own words would be both easier and more impactful for posterity than a written format, so this was a great choice for our family. Will definitely be utilizing the Tales.com team in the future. A+ experience!

OUR ORIGIN STORY

How This Tale Began

Interviewing my Grandma Nettie

Listen to one of Grandma Nettie’s stories

For as long as I can remember, my family has been asking my Grandma Nettie to write down her stories.

She started writing many times but never got past the first couple pages. And all of a sudden, she was 97 years old and time was running out.

So I bought a microphone, drove to her house, and spent an entire afternoon interviewing her all about her life — what it was like growing up during the Great Depression, her memories of World War II, and so much more.

These are stories that my family will cherish forever. Stories that I’ll share with my own children one day. And I realized that if these stories meant so much to me and my family, the same was probably true for other families.

So I teamed up with my friend, Wesley, to create Tales — to give every family an effortless way to capture their life stories in their own voice.

What started as a way to capture my own grandmother’s stories is now available to you and your family.

Everyone has a story to tell, and it's our mission at Tales to capture every one of those stories before they fade.
