“Let the wise listen and increase in learning, and the one who understands obtain guidance, to understand a proverb and a saying, the words of the wise and their riddles.” – Proverbs 1:5–6
Welcome to the Words of the Wise interview request form!
This podcast, hosted by Lexie Manor, was created to capture the words and wisdom of the world’s elderly—preserving their stories and legacies for generations to come. Every guest is age 60 or older, and every interview is rooted in reverence for their lived experience.
Lexie has been conducting interviews since 2019 and brings years of storytelling experience and deep care to every conversation. Words of the Wise has been featured in Indianapolis Monthly and continues to celebrate the insight, humor, and history of those who’ve walked before us.
Interviews are conducted in person or virtually via Zoom and are available as either:
• $350 for an individual
• $500 for a pair (couples, siblings, or close friends)
Each package includes a professionally edited audio episode for your family to keep. While there is a cost to produce each story, we believe the value of hearing your loved one’s voice—and preserving their life story—is truly priceless.
Please complete the form below to nominate someone for an interview. We kindly ask that the nominee be age 60 or older.
We can't wait to help you honor their story.
