About this listen

What if you were best known for the worst day of your life? Legacy: A Second Life seeks to correct that.

In some episodes, we'll dive into the world of true crime, focusing on the lives of victims taken too soon. In others, we'll explore historical figures who are remembered for the wrong reasons. Regardless of how the end happened, the goal remains the same: to recover a sense of dignity and nuance to the lives of those covered on the podcast.

  • The Grief and Triumph of Mrs. Winchester (Part 1)
    May 6 2025

    Sarah Lockwood Pardee was the name of the woman, born in New Haven, CT in 1839, who would go on to build the dynamic tourist attraction the Winchester Mystery House in San Jose, CA. But before all that, she was a shy young woman who married her best friend - and she endured countless personal tragedies shortly before her 40th birthday.

  • Brandon Lee: "And Yet, It All Seems Limitless" (Part 2)
    Apr 29 2025

    We take a deep look into Brandon's final movie, and the negligence that led to his completely preventable death. We also explore a more recent, despicable on-set accident which took the life of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.

    Note 1: (spoilers for "Game of Death"): I incorrectly stated that Bruce Lee's character gets killed in this movie; rather, his character fakes his own death after an assassination attempt. The point still stands that it was a crucial yet ignoble talking point after Brandon's death. What's even more striking is that Bruce died before the completion of this film, and the film was still salvaged and released with the help of stunt doubles...just like what would happen with his son's final film, decades later.

    Note 2: At the time of recording this episode, "Rust" had no release date. As of the publication of this episode, "Rust" is scheduled to open on May 2, 2025.
