Famous and Gravy: Dead celebrity biographies

Famous & Gravy is a celebrity biography podcast with a twist of self-reflection. Each week, host Michael Osborne and a guest choose a celebrity who died in the 21st century — musicians, athletes, actors, comedians, and cultural icons – and they dive into the hidden elements of their biography. The format is built around segments that probe a simple thought experiment: Would you want that life? Our goal is to learn what a celebrity's life story can teach us about ourselves. Every episode opens with a blind quiz that pulls clues from their New York Times obituary. After the dead celebrity is revealed, we move through categories such as grading the first line of their obit, 5 things I love about you, and guess the net worth. 128+ episodes in, the catalog covers Prince, Kobe Bryant, James Earl Jones, John Denver, Aretha Franklin, David Bowie, Fred Rogers, Patrick Swayze, Tina Turner, Muhammad Ali, Waylon Jennings, Gene Wilder, Betty White, Steve Irwin, Nelson Mandela, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Tom Petty, Robin Williams, and over a hundred more. New episodes weekly. Full video on YouTube. Play the opening quiz yourself: hello@famousandgravy.com
