Place + Memory

Series produced by Big Shed Audio

If you could go back, where would you go? The Place + Memory Project celebrates those places from our pasts that made their mark on us—but no longer exist. Through collected memories, we’re recreating a landscape of places we don’t want to forget, because they say something about who we are.

This growing radio series is part of a larger web-radio project (www.placeandmemory.org) inviting listeners and web-users to contribute their own recollections through voicemails, photos and written stories added to an online memory map.

This project was launched with the generous support of the Association of Independents in Radio, CPB, and NPR’s Weekend Edition as part of Maker’s Quest 2.0 (www.mq2.org).
