Personal podcasts with the people in your life
Artifact makes it easy to record stories with the most important people in your life. We set them up with a professional interviewer through our marketplace and we make it easy, from scheduling interviews to delivering a polished edit that wouldn’t sound out of place on NPR. We then host their stories in shareable, interactive listening experiences.
Artifact offered professional interview-based storytelling to capture family memories, producing studio-quality podcast-like episodes packaged as private, shareable heirlooms. The service included annual or monthly interview programs with professional interviewers and post-production editing, culminating in a private webpage for each Artifact.
Artifact booked 30-minute professional interviews (scheduled for 45 minutes). Interviews were conducted remotely via phone or computer, guided by prompts to elicit meaningful stories. The produced episode was a studio-quality 20-minute edit with intro/outro music and sound balancing. The final artifact was hosted on a private webpage with the ability to add unlimited photos and share with a selected audience. Pricing included per-interview purchases (e.g., $149 per interview) with bulk discounts (e.g., buy 2 episodes or more, 10% off).
Who it’s for: Families and parents seeking to preserve personal/family stories through professionally produced interviews and a private online heirloom.

I like to build things that help people. I'm a proud husband, father, and professed soccer nut. I hail from the Great State of New Jersey, but have called the Bay Area home since 2006. At heart, I am a Rawlsian.
I was born and raised in Morocco, studied in France, then moved to the US. I've always been a startup fan — first employee at Knowhere News, and third employee at Charlie Finance. I love prototyping and building things from scratch.
Originally from France. I love building all sorts of things: drones, microphones, ceramics. The only thing I love more is building them with cool people and bringing tremendous value to people. Little do I know my luck, this is exactly what we are doing at Artifact!
I'm a former writer and editor, and I taught myself to make podcasts while working on Howler, the small but mighty soccer mag I founded and ran for seven years. This is what led me to helping to form Artifact. I'm an eighth-gen Floridian on my mom's side and a first-gen American on my dad's, and I live in Tampa with my wife, two kids, and two poodles.
Storytime is making storytelling smarter by blending creativity with technology, crafting innovative narrative adventures that bring fresh, engaging, and immersive experiences to life.
Record your family stories and print them in beautiful keepsake books.
