Gary Arndt has visited over 140 countries, spoken on every continent, and produced more than 1,400 episodes of his podcast Everything Everywhere Daily. But beneath the stats is a storyteller who’s driven not by clicks, but by curiosity. In this wide-ranging conversation, we dig into the evolution of online content, the dangers of algorithmic gatekeepers, and why podcasting might be the last true vestige of the old internet. Gary shares how a background in competitive debate shaped his approach to storytelling, how he survived the collapse of travel media in 2020, and why asking “why is the alphabet in alphabetical order?” might be more useful than it sounds.

A thoughtful, funny, and unexpectedly hopeful look at where we’ve been—and where we’re heading.

In this episode of the Sound Legacy podcast, we sit down with Dr. Linda Berry—chiropractor, nutritionist, and gentle guide through the healing process. Her story begins with a life dedicated to dance, until a devastating car accident changed everything. What followed was a remarkable recovery, a complete reimagining of purpose, and a 40+ year career helping others find wellness in body and spirit.

Andrew and Linda talk about the path from trauma to transformation, the power of gratitude, the wisdom of Taoist practices, and how Linda’s five-fold path to bliss helps others heal on their own terms. It’s a conversation about resilience, reinvention, and the quiet power of listening—both to others and to your own body.

When Mike O’Krent visited Auschwitz in 2020, he didn’texpect to find his family name—71 times—in the Book of Names. That moment cracked something open. What followed was a journey not only through his ancestry but into a deeper purpose: helping others preserve their legacies before it’s too late.

In this episode, Mike shares his story with host AndrewCouch—growing up in San Antonio, riding horses, falling in love, and carrying on a multigenerational family business. But it’s his work as the founder of Life Stories Alive that takes center stage: a career built on capturing the stories that would otherwise disappear.

Mike reflects on his time interviewing Holocaust survivorsfor Steven Spielberg’s Shoah Foundation and how those experiences helped shape his approach to storytelling—with empathy, presence, and deep listening.

This is a conversation about legacy, grief, healing—and thequiet power of being truly heard.

When Firuze Gokce and her family moved from Turkey to Petaluma, California, they’d never even visited. But something about a podcast host’s voice, the pull of the ocean, and a gut-level trust in intuition led them across the world—and into a new life.

In this episode, Firuze shares her journey from tech entrepreneur to visual artist and whale advocate. Raised in a home filled with political debate, family meals, and compassion, Firuze’s love of storytelling—and marine life—was passed down from her father. Now, she creates vivid, sound-inspired paintings that honor whales, spark curiosity, and support conservation.

She and host Andrew Couch explore identity, values, motherhood, migration, and what it means to live with intention. This is a story about listening—across cultures, generations, and even species.

Listen now, and share it with someone who knows that the eyes of a whale—and the heart of an artist—can teach us how to live with more wonder.
