About This Podcast
Echoes in the First Person is a weekly narrative podcast that reimagines legacy through poetic monologue, cinematic sound design, and restrained storytelling. Each Monday, a first-person performance draws listeners into the inner world of an anonymous historical voice—without revealing their name. Through immersive audio, these episodes evoke memory, emotion, and the quiet urgency of justice.
On Thursdays, the veil lifts: the identity is revealed, the context deepens, and the relevance to today’s world comes into focus. Blending artistry with archival intent and emotional resonance, Echoes is a sonic sanctuary where history breathes, overlooked lives are honored, and storytelling becomes a form of advocacy.
