You're Dead Too - Episode 53 - Exhuming A Body

John sits down at the mic by himself to talk about how and why we exhume a body. Criminal cases, relocations or just plain old spite. How much does it cost, how do you do it and what are you going to encounter when you get down to it? Also, a look at the Cadaver Synod, also known as the Trial of the Dead Man. It's hardcore stuff.

You're Dead Too - Episode 51 - Not Dying At Home

John sits down at the mic by himself to talk about not dying at home. In a horrible mirror version of last week's episode, John looks at the various ways your home is trying to kill you. He also cops to his own idiocy about coronavirus conspiracies, his ability to fall up and down the stairs in his home, how basements are a local custom and why the bathroom is just as deadly as the kitchen. Good times!

You're Dead Too - Episode 50 - Dying At Home

John sits down at the mic by himself to talk about dying at home. Turns out, Americans are doing it more than ever but it's nowhere close to universal like it could be.

You're Dead Too - Episode 49 - Grave Relocation

John sits down at the mic by himself to talk about moving a cemetery from point A to point B. As it turns out, Poltergeist is a movie that need not be avoided as this happens pretty often and there's no reason to get squeamish about digging up a whole plot of graves to make room for more development. So long as you do it with love and care. Or maybe the Spanish Influenza was a harbinger for the arrival of the coronavirus. John's not a scientist.

You're Dead Too - Episode 48 - Alkaline Hydrolysis

John sits down at the mic by himself to talk about aquamation! It's a weird, ranty episode where John gets all hopped up on coffee and rants about bad news, the Catholic Church, body integrity, cremation and practical uses of sewer sanitation. Tune in to learn why Drano is the wave of the future!
