The (Burial) Plot Thickens ft. Hayley Campbell

In this episode, hosts Daniel Pewewardy and Sara Dixon talk about the often-avoided topic of death in recognition of #ReadICT category 9: a book about death or grief. Joining them on the podcast is journalist Hayley Campbell, who wrote the book All the Living and the Dead: From Embalmers to Executioners, an Exploration of the People Who Have Made Death Their Life's Work. They discuss what led her to writing a book about a topic that makes many people squeamish, which job she could (or couldn't) do if she had chosen to work with the dead, and why we should take more afternoon strolls through cemeteries.
