Andy Warhol wanted a cool blank gravestone with just the word "Figment" on it. He got a conventional grave in a suburban cemetery in Pennsylvania, next to his parents. A small consolation: the grave is live-streamed 24/7, an art project called "Figment." Frida Kahlo had a super cool funeral procession complete with communist flag and Mexican folk songs, and her ashes were placed in a pre-columbian frog shaped urn that now sits in her museum. Nicolas Cage has already set up his own mausoleum, an epic Illuminati-inspired pyramid placed in a New Orleans cemetery. Steve Jobs' grave is unmarked, not surprising for a creative entrepreneur who left a huge mark despite being a bit of an enigma in life.

In this episode, we'll drink whiskey on the rocks and discuss the weird and wonderful creative graves and gravestones of artists and creatives. We'll use that as a jumping-off point for a discussion of creative legacy: how do you shape your own creative legacy and what should you consider? How can you ensure that you do leave behind a creative legacy?

Join host Dr Karena Akhavein for an uplifting time that will get you drunk on the creative possibilities.
