- Outstanding - and necessary
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.

Apple Podcasts5ellietravAustralia2 years ago - Such an interesting topic
A really great me to listen to. As a society, we don’t discuss death often and it’s actually refreshing to hear it discussed on a platform like this.
