What do you get when you record a podcast in a funeral home with a casket behind you and a guest who's written over 2,000 articles with a cult-favorite book about grief? Apparently… a really good time. In this episode, I sit down with New York Times contributor, trend journalist, and author Alix Strauss to talk about death, loneliness, and why funeral homes might actually be the next great community space. We get into the 20th anniversary reissue of her book “The Joy of Funerals” - discuss what grief really looks like now, and the human (and sometimes hilarious) mess of longing, love, and connection. We also somehow talk about Chef Boyardee, bad shrimp, and one very intense almost-one-day-stand. Come for the dark comedy, stay for the real talk about life, loss, and showing up anyway.
