The voices of our Weavers

SwivelVoice is the spoken form of SwivelBook. A place where stories are not read, but told.

​

These are not studio recordings or polished performances. SwivelVoice stories are recorded in ordinary rooms, with ordinary acoustics, and extraordinary honesty. You hear breath and pauses, laughter and uncertainty. Sometimes you hear silence. Sometimes tears. All of it is welcome.

​

Because truth doesn’t always arrive tidy.
And wisdom doesn’t need a script.

Each SwivelVoice piece is spoken from lived experience rather than narration. The voices are real! Janitors, farmers, children, elders, people who have lost, healed, remembered, or simply noticed something worth sharing.

 

Editing is kept light. Imperfections are honoured. Emotion is not performed; it arrives naturally, when it arrives at all.

You might hear a janitor explaining life through toilets, a farmer speaking about carrots, copper, and frequency, or a child describing forgiveness with unexpected clarity. You might hear someone who has walked through grief and quietly mapped a way through. These are not experts speaking about life they are people speaking from inside it.

​

SwivelVoice belongs in the in-between spaces of living: on long drives, in late-night kitchens, in waiting rooms, in moments when company matters but conversation feels heavy. Often, it becomes a gift passed on to someone who needs to hear exactly that voice, at exactly that moment.

​

SwivelVoice stories live within The People’s Library, alongside SwivelBooks, as part of a growing, living archive of shared human wisdom.
