After a very, very long hiatus, we're happy to welcome you back to a new episode of Bury Me in New Jersey! This podcast is still a space for exploring grief, but we’ve spent some time reflecting on how we want to show up in these conversations—and that’s led us to a new focus, summed up in our new tagline: Grief. Resistance. Joy. New Jersey.
This season, we’ll explore the ways that people are navigating grief in all its forms—whether it’s tied to injustice, economic hardship, and the ways the systems fail to support us. It’s also a chance to acknowledge that while some grief is inevitable, some of it isn’t—and that’s where the “resistance” part of our tagline comes in. We’ll explore how people are pushing back, challenging what’s broken, and finding ways to reclaim agency in the face of pain. We’ll also look at the historical roots of these struggles, and highlight the ways communities have come together across generations to grieve, resist, and rise.
While I’ll be returning to the host seat for our future episodes, our first conversation features Bradley Nussbaum as our guest host. As a hospice social worker and Bright Dawn Buddhist lay minister, Bradley is very familiar with navigating difficult conversations relating to grief, and finding ways to evolve these conversations into deeper reflections on life.
Bury Me in New Jersey is recorded in Hammonton, NJ, with the help of sound guy Nick Rumaczyk, head mensch and husband Bradley Nussbaum, and operations chef Katel LeDu. Our theme music is Grief on Repeat by New Harm. You’re getting an exclusive first listen to their material–their debut EP will be coming out soon!
