Legacy: A Second Life
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.
