Creators behind Between Two Beers launch Reflections

The creators behind the award-winning podcast Between Two Beers have launched Reflections today.
Led by Steve Holloway and Seamus Marten, Reflections is a new storytelling business that gives Kiwis the opportunity to capture and preserve the stories of their whānau and loved ones for generations to come.
Reflections also addresses the tragedy of losing treasured information and tales of our family and friends.
Overseen by Holloway and Marten, Reflections works with a small team of Aotearoa’s leading interviewers. They will research their subjects’ lives, crafting an engaging, insightful two-hour conversation to capture all of the most meaningful moments of their guests’ lives.
Holloway believes the magic of life is in the detail, the personality and the stories – and too often, it’s lost:
“We’re all on life’s conveyor belt, and we’re all a bit bloody fascinating. But currently, unless a family has its act together, it’s often only the stories of the famous that endlessly stay around. This is where Reflections is set to change the status quo.”
Marten agrees, saying: “When we pass, so do our stories – leaving gaps in family understanding that can never be filled. Addressing this for Kiwi families feels like our most important work yet.”
The Reflections interview team includes seasoned journalists Suzanne McFadden and Mark Stafford.
The idea for Reflections was born following an email from a Between Two Beers listener, Blinder’s co-founder Caley Wilson.
Wilson thought the work Holloway and Marten were doing with Between Two Beers would be an incredible asset for Kiwi families.
He suggested they test the waters with his own parents.
“Through this experience, we preserved something irreplaceable, deepened our present relationships and gave our family a gift that will last forever,” says Wilson.
