Hosted by Ash Kelley and Alaina Urquhart from the hit show Morbid.
When 90-year-old Laurence Pilgeram drops dead on the sidewalk outside his condo, you might think that’s the end of his story. But, really, it’s just the beginning. Because Laurence and others like him have signed up to be frozen and brought back to life in the future. And that belief will pull multiple generations of the Pilgeram family into a cryonics soap opera filled with dead pets, gold coins, grenades, fist fights, mysterious packages, family feuds, Hall of Fame baseball legends, and frozen heads — lots of frozen heads. From Wondery, comes a story about life, death, and what comes next.

Customer Reviews
Eh
I was excited to listen to this series, it seemed so interesting!! But after the first 2 episodes I had to force myself to finish the rest. I found it quite boring and the scripted banter is so cringe. But it still killed at day at work so meh, at least I learned a few things about freezing bodies.
Painful unnecessary banter
The story is actually quite interesting but the banter is brutal.
That said , it’s always interesting when clearly highly intelligent people consider themselves funny and they're not. We’ve got two Elon musks going at it on this podcast.
Subscription?
To many great podcasts out there to have to pay for a subscription. To bad it sounded great
