NEW Death in the Afternoon, Season 2 Episode 7: Is That a Corpse in My Culture?
Added 2019-06-14 18:09:32 +0000 UTCWelcome to the final episode of Death in the Afternoon Season 2!
We did it! Our nerdy-deathy podcast has two whole seasons!
To wrap up the season, Sarah, Louise, and I are asking that perennial question: Is That a Corpse in my Culture?
We're talking corpses as entertainment. Not the idea of a corpse (sorry, horror fans) but real live – or should we say real dead – bodies. From 18th century Rome, to 19th century Paris, to 20th century Hollywood, when can corpses be important educational tools, and when are they only tasteless shock value? Who gets to decide? Enjoy, contemplate, ruminate.
And can you believe we're already at the end of the SECOND season of Death in the Afternoon? This season we recalled funerary innovations that bordered on the ridiculous, shared the stories of those who were forced to choose the least worst death, spent some time with lizard people and zombies, and followed along as I worked to get my sh*t together (we love mess).
THANK YOU – from all of us at DITA HQ – for your support. Your responses, shares, reviews, and dollars have meant the world to us. No joke. You made this possible. We hope you enjoyed it as much as we did.
[CAITLIN TIPS HAT, DOES A LITTLE GRATITUDE DANCE FOR YOU. IT'S VERY GOOD.]
Next week, on Saturday June 22nd, we have a NEW video for you, and we'll have some new articles on the Order website before the end of the June! PLUS, next month, we'll be kicking it old school with the Ask a Mortician videos...stay tuned...
Thank you again from the bottom of our dark, desiccated hearts!
We hope you were entertained.
Caitlin
