A documentary podcast about what happens after the headlines fade.
One man’s journey to confront the murder that shattered his family—and the silence that followed.

Some Inherit Stories. Others Inherit Silence.

Inheritance of Silence is a gripping true-story exploration podcast that delves into the lasting impact of childhood trauma, fatherlessness, violence, and generational pain.

Through immersive storytelling, raw interviews, and expert insights, Sean Alcorn unearths buried truths, confronts the echoes of his past, and wrestles with the question: Can we ever truly break free from the trauma we inherit?
