My Fantasy Funeral

When I first shifted We Own This Town to become a podcast network I wasn't sure what kind of shows would emerge but I was open to just about anything. Ryan Breegle approached me with an idea for a limited edition show about Gore Vidal that became Vidalotry. After that had run its course, I wondered what Ryan would come up with next...
He pitched me My Fantasy Funeral, an interview show that asks its guests to design their own funeral. Here's the elevator pitch:
I'll post updates here about the show as episodes post.
Imagine you are dead but you get to design your own funeral. What songs will be played? Who will deliver your eulogy? And where will your remains rest, forever more?The first episode will debut next week and we've got a little teaser up now. You'll find the show on Spotify, Google, YouTube, etc. I've heard the first few episodes and it's a wonderfully fascinating listen.
What we think about death, says a lot about the way we live our lives now.
