This week's show is a fun one, as Tui Snider joins AP and guest co-host Stephanie Quick to celebrate the release of her new book Around the World in 80 Graves! Tui, as you might have guessed, is an author and world traveler who has had a lifelong interest in cemeteries. She is also one heck of a story teller, and her most recent book- and this wide-ranging conversation- is a great example of her talent. Weaving together stories of her travels, the people she met along the way, and the various cultures and traditions she encountered, she sets out to prove that cemeteries are for more than just funerals.
This conversation barely scratches the surface of sites and themes covered in her book, but among the topics covered were Highgate Cemetery and Douglas Adams' grave, graves for amputated limbs, and Tui's origin story as a taphophile. A lot of laughs were had along the way, and it was a lighthearted and wholesome chat about a topic usually considered grim and morbid. From symbolism, history, and recounting embarrassing moments to coffee shops around the world, this episode- much like Tui's book- runs the gamut.
