The season finale of Memento Stori just went out and it's one of my favorites from the series. I'm obviously biased towards the work because the host, Rebecca Delius, is my fiance but her writing and interview style are undeniable; even if she isn't your betrothed.
In this episode, filmmaker Dycee Wildman talks about her high school friend Jordan; a songwriter and spitfire performer that passed away tragically in a car wreck. Wildman unearthed the CD of her works and listens to it for the first time since high school on the show.
It's remarkable to note her tension and trepidation up to hearing the music - a feeling a lot of us can relate to. What if your memory of a close friend was undermined by hearing their creative work at a later point in life? I was friends with so many bands in high school and I imagine if I went back and listened to it now, even my strongest nostalgia vibes might not be able to overcome reality. Wildman is in that exact position.
It's a great listen and I think the show, as a whole, is a remarkable look at nostalgia, death and the complex feelings that we get wrapped in. It's on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Google and everywhere else you prefer a podcast.
