    7 Minutes In Heaven - Alpine Divorce

    This week on 7 Minutes in Heaven, Chris explains the unique(ly messed up) concept of Alpine Divorce. Originated from a short story by Robert Barr, the term has a new horrible exemplar in the form of the late Kerstin Gurtner, left to die by her at-best-negligent boyfriend, Thomas Plamberger on a mountain trail. Was this a sad tale of a tragic hiking mishap or could it be… MURDER? Tune in to find out!

    Burn the Witch

    It should surprise noone that here at Death is Everything we are decidedly pro-Witch. It is a sad reality that long periods throughout history did not share our positive outlook, often using the accusation of witchcraft to harass healers, midwives, and women who did not fit the predetermined societal mold. Join us today to give remembrance to the persecution of witches throughout European history, a shameful practice that brought an untimely end to so many well-meaning and innocent people. Don’t worry, America, you’ll get your wag of the finger soon enough. Listen in, prep your cauldrons, and give us your best cackle, Land of the Living, because here comes the witching hour!

    7 Minutes In Heaven- Death NOT By Sharks

    This week on 7 Minutes in Heaven we continue our shark redemption arc by highlighting sea creatures who are even deadlier than the mighty shark. They may be diminutive in size, perhaps even of the Cute But Deadly variety, but beware, what they lack in stature they make up for in sheer lethality! Enjoy your swim, Land of the Living!

    Justice For Sharks

    Welcome to Summertime at Death is Everything! We know the living isn’t as easy as it should be with record temperatures and scorching heatwaves throughout the world. There’s a good chance you’re headed to the beach for some aquatic escape, so let us relieve you of a common fear: you are almost certainly not going to be attacked or killed by a shark. You know, big ‘ol toothy sea creature, legendary finned menace known for its insatiable hunger? We’re here to set the record straight and seek justice for this oft-maligned but still imposing water-bound marvel! Gasp as we highlight the countless ways you are more likely to die than by a shark attack, both common and patently absurd. We commit an act of public service by listing a few potentially life saving tips for when you do go for a swim. Then, with your fears assuaged, we’ll reveal some of the atrocities that have been committed in the name of Sharkdom. Can’t let the shark street cred fade completely, can we? Enjoy!

Are you a proud bearer of quality tattoos that you would hate to see pass into the great beyond along with your temporary flesh vessel (or body if you want to be boring about it)? Marianne highlights a unique service that removes tattoos for after death preservation. Then she details some clever Prohibition-era ingenuity in the form of Zinkers, headstones stuffed to the gills with your libation of choice.

    There are many notable examples of animals having heightened senses well beyond the capabilities of humans. Could this include the capability to sense illness and death? We’re bringing it up for a reason because this week we highlight examples of helpful animals who sniff out health dangers ranging from cancer to bird flu. Then we hear about animals and their relationship and potential for understanding mortality, including one incredible cat with a tendency to cuddle up to those on the precipice of death. Come join us for some cute critter time, Land of the Living!

    7 Minutes In Heaven - Wash Tub Clown

    Clowns are known for being bearers of mirth and joy. This week on 7 Minutes in Heaven, Marianne recounts the tale of one clown who was instead a gateway to despair and death in the form of the Yarmouth Bridge Disaster. Or maybe this was the Clown Agenda all along, for who knows what lurks beneath that caked on makeup, comically large shoes, and devious red nose? Something nefarious, that’s what I think. Regardless of your associated fandom or phobia, listen in and clown around with us!

    Ahh, childhood. For many of us, our early years can be seen as a time when the weight of the world had not yet been hoisted onto our collective shoulders. The days of playgrounds, toys, and the innocence of nursery rhymes. But upon further inspection, underneath those schoolground songs lie dark and morbid tales. Why do so many of these silly numbers revolve around plague, death, and serious injury? This week the DIE Gang examines some notoriously twisted nursery rhymes and the intention behind them, if there was any. We spend inordinate time harping on the dangers of violent media when maybe we should take a closer look at exactly what was happening with Old Mother Hubbard and those poor Three Blind Mice! #deathiseverything #DeathIsEverythingPodcast #DIEwithMarianne #DIEwithMarianneandChris #DIEwithMCA #deathinpsiration #deathpodcast #LApodcast #takingchances #landoftheliving #NurseryRhymes #ButWhy #GreatParenting #ProblematicOldEnglish #TheEndOfInnocence #OddLessonPlan #ThreeBlindMiceForHolloween #ChrisRecountsTheDicemanUnfortunately #Can’tTrustBigEgg #ShrekReferences #ThatPoorDog #MarianneAndChrisAcapella Thanks for listening, Land of the Living!
