About this listen

Part podcast, part public art exhibition. Curating people's stories through an object that has stayed with them. The things we hold on to - precious, funny, sweet or odd - unlock lessons and reveal insights rarely spoken about.
For years, Kaz Maurice O'Leary has created transient gallery spaces, inviting people to bring an object and share its story, each time discovering deeper insights into who we are and what we value. These keepsakes, talismans, or simple reminders link us to moments, memories, and meaning. This collection of objects is a time capsule into the lives of us.

Kaz collects, documents, photographs and 3D scans these objects, creating an ongoing exhibition of the things that make us human.

    KATHY ELDON + OBJECT: Honoring the stories that must be told.
    Nov 21 2025

    How do images and narrative impact our minds - fast?

    Kathy Eldon - a journalist, author of 17 books, and award-winning film and television producer, explores how visual stories expand moral imagination and move people from sympathy to awareness and action.

    Her object reveal and contribution to the Museum of Thought is a special one. To see this in full glory head to our YouTube account for the video episode.

    After her son, photojournalist Dan Eldon, was killed on assignment in Somalia, she founded Creative Visions, a UN-recognized NGO that has supported 400+ projects reaching more than 100 million people. Through media, education, and the Dan Eldon Center for Creative Activism, and drawing on experiences from Nairobi newsrooms to Malibu, she shares the craft and ethics behind films like Dying to Tell the Story, Extraordinary Moms for Oprah’s OWN platform, and The Journey Is the Destination (Netflix), offering tools to turn attention into action and awareness.

    She has just launched a new book -"Boundless" - available on Amazon now.

    Thank you Kathy, you are in inspiration.
