Aesop Nation
Welcome to Aesop. Everyone has a story - or a hundred! Most of us don‘t take the time to memorialize the magical things that happen in our lives. Aesop is a service that allows people to preserve and share the stories of their lives with private, personal podcasts. This podcast includes samples from people just like you. Our guests have agreed to let us share their interviews through our public podcast so everyone can enjoy them. Most people don‘t think about this until they lose people they care about and then wish they had access to their stories - in their own voices available anytime. If you want to preserve and share your stories with the people you care about most, go to aesopnation.com and book an interview today. Thanks for listening!
