Description

Today we’re announcing Dead or Alive, a new game app from Famous and Gravy. On this episode, hear people play the game out loud with laughter, surprise, and agony. We also tell the story of how this game came to be, and how it actually inspired the Famous and Gravy podcast. In other words, this is our origin story. Michael and Amit conceived of a game app in 2011, and 10 years later the podcast was born instead. As of this release, both now exist in the world. You can play Dead or Alive for free on any mobile device by going to deadoraliveapp.com.
Famous & Gravy is created and co-hosted by Amit Kapoor and Michael Osborne. This episode was produced by Jacob Weiss. For updates on the show, please sign up for our mailing list at famousandgravy.com

Titles in the series (77)

On every episode we choose a celebrity who died between 1 and 10 years ago. We then go through a series of structured categories. We start by rating the first line of their NYT obituary on a scale of 1–10. We then look at their life stats, we speculate on their inner lives, and we ultimately answer the question "Would I want that life?" Each category helps weigh the desirability of a given life. Our approach is that of an empathetic biography. Our dead celebrities cross many categories of fame, including film, TV, sports, music, politics, literature, and more. Our goal is to make serious topics fun.
