[Short form interview with immersive audio]

2025 marks the 55th anniversary of the Samaritans’ presence in Ireland.

Lucy’s grandmother, Judy, dedicated 30 years as a volunteer with the organisation, offering support through their phone line. Although Lucy has always been curious about her grandmother’s experiences on those calls, Samaritans volunteers are bound by a pledge of confidentiality regarding their callers. However, there was one call Judy could share with Lucy—and the reason why will soon become clear.

Produced and narrated by Lucy Nuzum.
