Oral history host: Aaron

Oral history host, warm, reverent, and patient

Prompt: A warm, weathered male voice for an oral-history podcast. His mellow baritone is reverent and patient, preserving ordinary voices, sincere and grounded. There's a we-must-not-forget-this tenderness in his tone. The sound of a host who makes an old person's memory feel like a treasure being handed carefully forward.

Script: She's 93 years old, and she remembers a world that's almost entirely gone now. The sounds of it, the smells, the way people spoke to each other. In a few years no one will be left who lived it. So we sat with her for an afternoon, and just listened.
