20 years of answering machine messages into a documentary

[wonky]

From a story at NPR, or here is a link to the whole doc.

But when Craig got an answering machine in 1985, he wouldn’t erase. He’d just replace the tape and throw the old one into a shoebox. Twenty years later, he had amassed hours and hours of what was, effectively, an audio diary of his life.

Craig, a London-based filmmaker, finally decided to sit through and listen to all of his tapes, to sketch a loose story of his life in a 23-minute documentary called Talk To Me.

I found it pretty affecting and sometimes funny, especially the final call.
