PODCAST

Headstone with Pete Wright

A well-lived life deserves a great last line. Headstone is a podcast about legacy—not the kind etched in marble, but the kind we carry in memory, in laughter, in the stories we tell long after someone’s gone. Hosted by Pete Wright, Headstone uses one deceptively simple question—What do you want on your headstone?—to explore the lives behind the legacies. In each episode, guests reflect on meaning, mortality, creativity, failure, grief, and joy, finding humor and humanity in the messy middle of it

James Ochoa: The Storm Chaser

Headstone with Pete Wright ·

2025/11/01

Some people study chaos because they have to. Others because they can’t look away.James Ochoa has spent his life inside both camps—born into a noisy, loving, impossibly crowded family, raised amid the unpredictable rhythms of mental illness and grace, and shaped by a series of accidents and near misses that could have ended him. Instead, they gave him a reason to begin again.For more than three decades, James has been a counselor, teacher, and writer—founder of The Life Empowerment Center

The Generous Goodbye with Aliza Kline

Headstone with Pete Wright ·

2025/10/11

Aliza Kline has built her life around connection—the kind that happens when people gather around a table, or descend beneath the surface of the water, or find themselves saying “yes” to something unexpected. For over two decades, she’s created institutions that made those moments possible: Mayyim Hayyim, the reimagined mikveh in Boston, and OneTable, the social platform that’s helped more than a million people share Shabbat dinner. Her work has changed how Jewish ritual lives in the modern

Building Cathedrals from Dry Erase with Rob Kubasko

Headstone with Pete Wright ·

2025/09/27

Step into Rob Kubasko’s office and you’ll find a reliquary of light and story: Iron Man’s helmet, a model of the USS Enterprise, a Phantom of the Opera music box. To the untrained eye, it’s a collection of toys. To Rob, it’s a theory about how humans work: that play isn’t the opposite of seriousness, it’s the method for reaching it.This week, Rob opens up about the moments that shaped that worldview—growing up with humor as both a defense and a bridge, standing at the wake of a childhood

The Lasting Impressions in Lost Things with Glenn...

Headstone with Pete Wright ·

2025/09/13

History is often written in bold type. We remember the wars, the inventions, the big cultural shifts that announce themselves with headlines. But Glenn Fleishman has been spending his time reminding us that the things history forgets—scraps of type, obsolete tools, obscure printing processes—are often the very things that shape us the most. They make up the invisible machinery of culture.Glenn’s career has been built on chasing down these overlooked artifacts and giving them back their

What We Lift and What We Carry with Srdjan Injac

Headstone with Pete Wright ·

2025/08/30

When Srdjan Injac was a kid, he was small. Picked last for dodgeball small. Picked on. Smacked around. Defended by others on the playground small. He carried a condition called pectus excavatum that made his chest cave inward, and for years he hid it under shirts, and shame, and silence. Then war broke out in Sarajevo.What follows is not a tale of overnight triumph, but something far more compelling: a young man who survives four years of war, moves to a country where he barely speaks the

Clever Dialogue and the Crushing Weight of Mortality...

Headstone with Pete Wright ·

2025/08/16

What happens when the people you’ve spent years working alongside suddenly aren’t there anymore? For Kyle Olson—writer, podcaster, audio dramatist, and inveterate storyteller—grief arrived not as a single storm, but as a pair of Thursdays. This week, Kyle shares the sudden losses of two important figures in his life and reflects on what it means to grieve not just family, but work kin: the people who see us at our most capable, our most frustrated, our most ourselves.Along the way, we dig

A Large Collection of Tiny Brief Encounters with Seth...

Headstone with Pete Wright ·

2025/08/02

There’s a moment in every western where a lone figure walks into a dusty town. They are anonymous—neither good nor evil, simply unknown. They solve a problem, provoke a conflict, heal a wound, and just as quickly, disappear.What if legacy isn’t about how long you stay, but how fully you show up?This week on Headstone, Pete Wright invites his long-time friend and co-host Seth Nelson into a very different kind of conversation—one not about legal advice or custody battles, but about the

How to Be Remembered Without Saying a Word With...

Headstone with Pete Wright ·

2025/07/12

In 1888, Alfred Nobel read his own obituary. A clerical error, yes—but also a mirror, a reckoning, a chance to see what his legacy might become. The Merchant of Death is Dead, the headline read. It haunted him. It changed him.Most of us—thankfully—don’t get that kind of theatrical heads-up. But the question still lingers: How will we be remembered? And maybe more urgently, how do we live a life that’s worth remembering?In this debut episode of Headstone, I'm sitting down with Carrie

In this trailer, host Pete Wright shares the haunting idea that inspired the show: the three deaths we all experience, and why the final one is the most human of all. Each episode, Pete invites a guest to explore what it means to

A Performance of Confidence with Derek Brandow

Headstone with Pete Wright ·

2025/02/01

We often think of confidence as a gift—something innate, something you either have or you don’t. But what if it’s not? What if confidence is, instead, a performance? A mask we wear to navigate the world, to protect ourselves from the fear of rejection, to shield us from a deeper truth: that we’re terrified of not belonging.In this premiere episode of Headstone, I sit down with Derek Brandow, an instructor at University of Oregon’s School of Journalism and Communication, to explore the
