Memento Mori’s Podcast Block Party: Recent Episodes
Radiotopia
Hello there, I’m D.S. Moss, host and producer of the death podcast, The Adventures of Memento Mori (www.remembertodie.com). I live in Brooklyn, NYC, and so do the hosts of these podcasts I’ve selected. Now, hosting a podcast and living in Brooklyn is about as common as a man bun, but…these folks are all in my hood. In fact, two of them even live on my street. I love the work my neighbors do and I hope you do too.
Toure, my neighbor, has a new podcast that takes us into the things we love. In this one – it’s Prince.
I don’t know Jad Abumrad but I see him in the bodega all the time and am working up the courage to introduce myself. This Radiolab episode could be my all time favorite.
Julia Bainbridge lived a street over. We could both look out our back windows are stare at each other. Sometimes longingly. Her show on loneliness is a topic all New Yorkers can identify with.
Angela Ledgerwood interviews the best writers in the biz. I’m always in awe of the caliber of talent. She lives directly across the street. In this episode she interviews another neighbor, NYTimes journalist Megan Twohey.
It’s getting incestuous, I know. In her first episode, Angela interviews neighborhood coffee shop staple Catherine Lacey.
I met special guest Sandra Oh on my stoop and Daniel Ryan, the past life regression hypnotherapist who took me deep into past lives in the next hood over. I bump into him all of the time – and it’s awkward.
It’s complicated. And important. Photojournalists Marie Helene Carleton and Micah Garen, neighbors to the north, are critical in articulating the complexities of death shown in mainstream and social media.
