Funeral Stories
Everyone always talks about their wedding story or childbirth story, but no one ever says, "Hey... What happened at that funeral you went to?" and there's always a story there. Lifelong friends Laura Brooker and Casey Carter ask that question in Funeral Stories, a podcast about the crazy, cringeworthy, hilarious & heartfelt stories that come with saying goodbye.

It's fair to say that she has one of the best attitudes we've encountered so far and it was a privilege to hear her story. Whether she's competing in a roller derby bout as "Leche GaGa" or giving the finger to the Grim Reaper, Stephanie...
