In a fast-changing city like Singapore, buildings and street scenes familiar to us may not last for long, but upon entering the homes of Singaporeans, you are likely to find personal objects that can evoke the sights and sounds of a bygone era.

The Objects that Made Us is a mini podcast series produced by Amy Sim and Yap Seow Choong. In every episode, we will be inviting a guest to share a personal object and the story behind it. These stories will offer glimpses of Singapore's past, weaving together a tapestry of our collective memories.
