Dying Your Way Podcast by Claire O’Berry: On Thresholds, Ancestors, and the Village We Need

INTERVIEW

Interview Published on August 28, 2025

Stephen was recently interviewed by Claire O’Berry, host of the Dying Your Way podcast. Here’s what she had to say about their talk:

Interviewing Stephen Jenkinson is not for the faint of heart. One needs their A-game to stay in the ring, which is why this conversation is titled Round 3.

I survived. I stretched. I grew. And I would say I am incrementally, if not forever changed.

In this latest episode of the Dying Your Way Podcast, Stephen and I explore his new book Matrimony—a work that is about so much more than weddings. It is about thresholds, ceremony, patrimony, vows, obligations, grief, and the interchangeable skills required to live and die well.
