It"s A Death Sentence: An Unexpectedly Funny, Deeply Human Podcast About Death & Life

Carrie Smith & Emma Skipp

💀 It’s a Death Sentence 💀 A podcast about life and death — and everything awkwardly, hilariously and heartbreakingly in between. Hosted by two women in their 40s: one, an APT performing daily autopsies, the other; a professional singer! Both have stared grief in the face — historically and recently — and somehow learned to laugh anyway. A home for anyone who has lost someone . Because grief doesn’t just touch individuals. It ripples through families, friendships and whole cultural communities
