{"store":{"baseInfo":{"podcastTitle":"Listen To The Heartbeat","slug":"listentotheheartbeart","podcastDescription":"

Aaron Keith Gaulding is a writer shaped by memory, lineage, and lived experience. Born in Los Angeles and formed in the spaces between generations, his work carries the quiet weight of histories that were survived more than they were spoken. He writes with the understanding that some truths are not taught—they are inherited.

Aaron’s work explores identity, displacement, accountability, and the long echoes of silence passed down through families and communities. His writing does not seek to rewrite history, but to listen to it—naming what was endured, what was withheld, and what still asks to be understood. Each book stands as both a reflection and a reckoning, honoring ancestry without romanticizing it.

Each Individual episode is a guest's personal lived experience.
