An excellent addition to the podcast sphere, and much needed. Catherine is a highly skilled interviewer - candid as the subject matter requires, but also extending sensitivity and empathy to her interviewees. And it’s clear that thorough contextual research is a priority for her. Even a handful episodes in, there’s a wealth of extremely helpful information here about death and all that comes with it; and a warm and understanding light shed on the human condition.
