What’s one thing you can never throw away … and why? What time, place, person, or experience does it connect you to? What does this thing tell us about you?
On Mementos, everyday people talk about a special item and the reason(s) they keep it. In each episode, the thing becomes a springboard for exploring and reflecting on memories, experiences, emotions, and relationships.
Mementos grew from the experiences of producer and host Lori Mortimer. After her mother passed away, she spent a few months emptying her house of her entire recorded history: receipts from her wedding and honeymoon, get-well cards, handmade cards from Lori’s brother’s fourth-grade classmates congratulating her on the birth of Lori’s younger brother. Every memento revealed more about Lori’s mother to her; but the things Lori kept were about their relationship. The show’s 2019 debut episode tells the story. Listen below.
