About Grand Memories

One Father's Day not long ago, our founder and host, Neil Butler, received a gift from his grandson, Maverick - a journal to record his memories and, then, to to pass back as a family keepsake. 

What a spectacular idea - a book where a whole lot of family stories, reasons for family traditions and so much more are recorded in one book. All of that stuff that so many of us wished we knew about our grandparents and yet never took the time to write down.

As a child and young adult, Neil spent time with his grandparents, one of whom had seen the arrival of the 20th century and the federation of Australia. That means that, with two degrees of separation, Maverick - born in 2021 - is linked to someone born in the 19th century.

Recording these ideas in a book is one thing but how much better would it be for him and other members of the family to be able to hear Neil telling the stories himself?

And that's when Grand Memories was born.

Grand Memories allows your loved one to tell their story in a conversation with Neil, walking through the different phases of their life. From childhood memories to the present day, all recorded as a personal podcast available for you to share within your family.

It's a unique idea and an amazing way for the memories - the Grand Memories - to be preserved forever.
