About the show

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 begins with one deceptively simple question: What do you want on your headstone? From there, we explore the lives behind our legacies. 

In each episode, we reflect on meaning, mortality, creativity, failure, grief, and joy—finding humor and humanity in the messy middle of it all. It’s not a show about death. It’s a show about life—and the words we hope will outlast us. Because sometimes, the story that survives you… is the best one you ever told.
