zThe Final Curtain: Recent Episodes
Shirley Welsh
Join Shirley Welsh, host of Death Café Dunedin, where people meet to drink tea, eat cake and discuss death. In this programme, we break the taboo around talking about death and hear first-hand from New Zealanders about their experiences, and their perspectives.
At Death Café Dunedin, the conversation continues. You can join that conversation by listening to other New Zealanders tell their stories about death and, if you want to, by sharing yours. Look for Death Café Dunedin on Facebook for updates and meeting times.
