The podcast
Landfill of Memories
Looking back at the things we keep 'for the memories'. In each episode, Susanna asks guests to bring three significant memories — then decides whether to keep the memory, or shred it into pieces.
One
A childhood memory
The first item is from a childhood memory — something that roots you to where you began.
Two
An item from a tough time
The second is an item from a tough time — something carried through difficulty.
Three
A memory to cherish forever
The last is a memory you'll cherish forever — something you never want to lose.
