We're Dying Here

Join Jane and Micah and our guest Divya Anantharaman, owner of Gotham Taxidermy! We talk all things death and dying and how taxidermy has given Divya a greater appreciation for life. We also chat about Taxidermying Micah but apparently it's very expensive. What about a reality show for competitive Taxidermy? It could happen!

Come listen to Jane and Micah chat with Lori Gunty Becker, a teacher and old friend of Jane's. They met in college and have been friends since. They discuss Mushroom trips, and a near death experience of a colonoscopy. Lori talks about her father, the late Borscht Belt Comic Morty Gunty, hanging around backstage with Cher's drag queens while her father performed and the difficulty of losing her father so young.

Join Jane and Micah on this week's episode with guest Kory Batschke! Kory grew up in a flower shop and has been around the funeral industry his entire life. This led him to work as a funeral associate who is currently in training at the Wayne State University Mortuary Science Program to become a certified funeral director. He must love the program because he says that, after he dies, he wants to donate his body back to the school! We find out everything that a mortician at a family-owned funeral home is responsible for 24/7 and the best and worst phrases to use at a funeral. The undeeeeertaaaaaaker!

Join Jane and Micah as we chat with our first guest under 10 years old. Four years younger than 10. It's 6 year old Sara and her mother Jessica. Sara saw the movie Soul, has lost a great grandmother and family cat.

We talk about Soul, Tom and Jerry, Ancestors, and she has questions!
