ALONG THE SEAM is a podcast from author Rachael Cerrotti where she explores topics of inherited memory, family history and intergenerational storytelling with guests from all corners of the globe. Along The Seam is the examined place in between past and present, our old selves and new selves, and moving from one space towards another. It’s the grey. The nature. The paradox. The grief. The question. The place of binding connection.
The project was developed during Rachael’s role as the inaugural Storyteller in Residence for USC Shoah Foundation with support from her colleague Stephen D. Smith. The show was first released in 2021 and then re-conceptualized and re-released in 2022 under the name The Memory Generation. Rachael is currently working on the second season which is being supported by fellowships with New America and The Witness Institute.
