The perfect alternative retirement gift
At Monkeynut Audiobooks, we’re offering a truly unique retirement gift for you and your family.

This is your unique opportunity to let people know details about your life that they otherwise would never have known in a professional interview: creating a legacy that will last generations.
Leave a legacy by recording your life story
We’re not all authors. People say that there’s a book in all of us, and although writing may not be your thing, we know you have an incredible personal story to tell. Recording your life story is as good as it gets when it comes to sharing your experiences and leaving a legacy for your children, grandchildren and your family yet to come.
In your retirement, you may find yourself thinking about the future: recording your life story gives you the perfect opportunity to be professionally interviewed and create a top quality audio and/or video memoire that can be played for generations to come. Help keep your family history alive and let future family get to know the real, authentic you. Share precious memories, hilarious anecdotes and insights into your family history.
This is your time capsule to fill. No judgments. No questions. Record your legacy today and leave your mark.
What happens on the day?
At Monkeynut Audiobooks, we have state of the art technology that allows us to capture your precious memories in any setting: recording in the comfort of your own home, or in the studio. We will create a ‘Desert Island Discs’ style recording, or ‘This Is Your Life’ style recording allowing you to set down whatever you want in audio immortality.
After agreeing a setting, we will offer you a selection of questions, or you can create your own and send them to us. Popular questions include:
What do you remember from your childhood?
What were your parents like?
What was your first crazy experience?
What are your fulfilled and unfulfilled dreams?
What was the first dance at your wedding?
What is your happiest memory?
What message would you leave behind?
On the day, an interviewer will arrive with our Monkeynut audio team, who will ask you your pre-approved questions, creating a professional but relaxed interview. Our top quality equipment will capture the sound with perfect clarity.
And if you wanted to create a film as well with out ‘This Is Your Life’ style experience, with our state of the art video recording technology, your cherished family and friends can see the emotion in your eyes as you recall your memories.
Our friendly staff know that it can be an emotional experience; we are here to listen with empathy and kindness, and all information will be treated as strictly confidential. We’ll also make sure you’re kept comfortable, and will provide tea, coffee and lunch on the day.
