Legacy

Saison 1 · Épisode 18

mardi 21 juillet 2020 • Durée 01:11:22

General content note for the series: death, dementia, old age, mental health issues

Additional content note: sex, assisted dying, war

This episode is the last episode of the first (and possibly last) season of this show, and it's about legacy.

I've been planning this show for years. The earliest recording I've used was recorded by my dad on cassette tape in 1984. This show has covered 96 years of my dad's life and 38 years of mine. I started recording interviews with my dad in 2011 and began writing essays about our relationship and his journey through old age towards death in 2017.

I'm glad I made this show. That it hasn't just remained an imagined show. It's been a tough journey at times, but it's one I'm so glad I've made. Thanks for travelling on it with me.

The Box and the Jar

Saison 1 · Épisode 17

mardi 14 juillet 2020 • Durée 46:44

General content note for the series: death, dementia, old age, mental health issues

Extra content note: grief, suicide, terminal illness, abuse, bereavement

In the final full episode of the podcast using content funded by the British Podcast Awards and the Wellcome Trust I talk to counselor and psychotherapist Karen Pollock MBACP about grief and death. This is an episode about ways of thinking (and feeling) about bereavement, therapeutic approaches to change and loss, how the systems and attitudes around and inside us effect the ways we deal with difficult things, and so much more. It is the only episode of the show that doesn't feature my dad's voice but he is very present in the conversation.

Chivalry

Saison 1 · Épisode 8

mardi 12 mai 2020 • Durée 44:48

General content note for the series: death, dementia, old age, mental health issues

Additional content note: sexism, misogyny, questionable behavior, power dynamics and age gaps within romantic and sexual situations.

When I made a show about my relationship with masculinity, I talked a lot about my mum and my stepdad, but my dad hardly featured at all. When he did, he was a positive presence and represented an alternative version of masculinity. When you're trying to condense your history into an hour-long show, you have to leave some bits out. But there's also something inside me that doesn't want to deconstruct my dad. I don't want to mess too much with the positive parts of my childhood.

This episode is about masculinity, privilege and performance.

Friendship Part 1

Saison 1 · Épisode 7

mardi 5 mai 2020 • Durée 36:36

General content note for the series: death, dementia, old age, mental health issues

It's important to keep in mind that the story of my relationship with my dad is only one part of his life. It's only one of the ways he has been a father: the context of my childhood has been very different from the context of my siblings' childhoods. While he was retired for most of my life, for the rest of my siblings, he was someone who went out to work.

This episode is about friendship, parenting, love and care.

Desire Paths

Saison 1 · Épisode 5

mardi 21 avril 2020 • Durée 40:09

General content note for the series: death, dementia, old age, mental health issues

Memories are like desire paths: when you first walk down them, they are overgrown and full of details. The more you walk them, the more eroded they become; they are smoothed out and set. You get to what you remember more quickly, but what you remember has become something else. You no longer have to look for landmarks because there is a path for you to walk.

This episode is about time memory, childhood, dementia and Citizen Kane.

Documenting

Saison 1 · Épisode 1

mardi 24 mars 2020 • Durée 29:32

General content note for the series: death, dementia, old age, mental health issues

A document is a piece of evidence; a record; a proof of something. By this definition, we are all living documents, documents that may or may not be lost to history. What parts of us are recorded? What parts of us are seen?

We record our lives and the lives of others, using our memory and our technology. We choose what to record, how we record it and how we present it, sometimes consciously and sometimes subconsciously. We don't always fully choose because we can only work with what we have; sometimes our choices are more restricted than others. We are all documents; we are all documenters; we are all Documentary Makers.
