    7 Minutes In Heaven - The Queen of Mean

    This week on 7 Minutes in Heaven we tell the tale of a notorious tax-evading New York real estate mogul with a larger-than-life personality and penchant for cruelty. No no no, not that one, we’re talking about Leona Helmsley, famously labeled the “Queen of Mean” for her scandalous ways, even from beyond the grave! But hey, at least she cared about the dogs of the world and her own precious dog Trouble (yes, that is the name), that has to count for something, right?

    But Wait, There’s More!

    It’s time for DIE Variety Hour, where we present you death-related stories to tickle your fancy! We present to you a rare case of someone mistaken for dead on the precipice of being cremated; a lottery for coveted Paris burial plots with a costly but cool catch; the terrifying answer to the common worry, “What if I don’t make it back onto the cruise ship before it leaves port?” (hint: death); and a kooky caste of nuns trying to make their way home. Join us for good times and hearty laughs… while you can! P.S. Welcome to the DIE Crew, Joey! He’s been on board writing blurbs and helping with show research for a few months now, so feel free to give him a ghostly disembodied wave as you listen. Cheers!

    7 Minutes In Heaven - Burial in Frozen Places

    What do you do when it is time to bury the deceased but the ground is frozen? Since we at DIE reside in sunny Los Angeles (sorry/not sorry, residents of places with “Real Weather”) it is a bit of a foreign concept, but one that our death-coded minds are nonetheless curious about, so today on 7 Minutes in Heaven we look at some crucial cold weather funerary practices. Come break the ice with us, Land of the Living! Or, well, you do that while we enjoy our blue skies and golden sunshine. Muahahaha! #deathiseverything #DeathIsEverythingPodcast #7MinutesInHeaven#7MinutesInHeavenwithMarianneandChris #7MinutesInHeavenwithMCA #7MinutesInHeavenwithDIEpod #deathpodcast #LApodcast #takingchances #landoftheliving #burial #frozenburial #funeralservices #coldweather #brrrr Thanks for listening, Land of the Living!  Subscribe, and follow us on Instagram @die.podcast  for updates!  Check out deathiseverything.com for merchandise and more!

    My Spooky Bitch Genesis

    The classic adage “one person’s trash is another’s treasure” is apropos for this week’s guest. Jessica of Holzbrennen Studio is an artist who works with what she dubs “trashion”: clothing made from up-cycled discarded materials. Her works are both intricate pieces of fashion and an excellent way to repurpose refuse. We talk about the inspiration behind her projects, her goals and aspirations, and of course her outlook on death and burial. Tune in and check out Jessica’s amazing creations!

    7 Minutes In Heaven - Candle Safety

    We love candles here at DIE and are willing to bet there’s a good chance that you do too. Seriously, is the Venn Diagram of “death positive people” and “candle lovers” a circle? If not then it’s likely close! But open flames naturally bring with them risk. Luckily we’ve got you covered! Listen in to our Resident Candle Expert and “Fan of Burning Things” Marianne as she highlights key safety measures you should definitely have in mind when employing candles. Stay safe and burn bright, Land of the Living! #deathiseverything #DeathIsEverythingPodcast #7MinutesInHeaven#7MinutesInHeavenwithMarianneandChris #7MinutesInHeavenwithMCA #7MinutesInHeavenwithDIEpod #deathpodcast #LApodcast #takingchances #landoftheliving #candles #candlesafety #burningthings Thanks for listening, Land of the Living!  Subscribe, and follow us on Instagram @die.podcast  for updates!  Check out deathiseverything.com for merchandise and more!

    Mothman Ass

    We here at DIE tend toward the macabre (who would’ve thought) and thus  have a fascination with all things creepy crawly, such as this week’s focus, cryptids! These shadowy creatures defy explanation, inspire horrific tales, and highlight the wonders of a universe filled to the brim with as-yet unexplained phenomena. Real or not, they are a gateway into how we interact with the world and, naturally, our concepts of death and the great beyond. Join us as we dig into some of the more deadly and deathly of these eldritch beings, including acid-spitting desert worms; a voracious legend of spiritual folklore; a predator with a sweet tooth for farm animals; and of course, the Monster of the Moment, the mysterious (and possessor of copious cake) Mothman! Listen in and let us know about your favorite cryptids, whether you think they are real or a product of society’s overactive imagination, and of course any opinions you may have about Mothman’s generous posterior!

    7 Minutes In Heaven - Ötzi the Iceman

    Have you been feeling the Winter Chill more than usual this year? Buried  in blankets, heater blasting? Take solace that at least you aren’t as cold as this week’s focal point, Ötzi the Iceman! Found frozen in ice after 5,000 years, Ötzi probably has us all beat when it comes to the extremes of cold exposure. Keep warm, listen in, and celebrate the fact that you’re not a literal frozen popsicle person! #deathiseverything #DeathIsEverythingPodcast #7MinutesInHeaven#7MinutesInHeavenwithMarianneandChris #7MinutesInHeavenwithMCA #7MinutesInHeavenwithDIEpod #deathpodcast #LApodcast #takingchances #landoftheliving #Ötzi #Ötzitheiceman #mummies #mummification #cold #coldenvironments #brrr Thanks for listening, Land of the Living!  Subscribe, and follow us on Instagram @die.podcast  for updates!  Check out deathiseverything.com for merchandise and more!

    Many Mosquitoes

    This week on Death is Everything we look at the creation of the Panama Canal, one of the world’s greatest feats of engineering, and the sizable human toll that went into its construction. We give our gratitude to the many thousands of laborers that died braving the snakes, mosquitoes, diseases, explosions, and countless workplace and environmental dangers to bring us this crucial piece of infrastructure. The next time you make a purchase made possible through the seemingly magical advances of global shipping, give a thought to the sacrifices of the many people who have made our way of life possible. Then stick around to hear an update on the state of the Darien Gap, the treacherous stretch of land that serves as a route for immigrants looking for a better life. It can be a brutal world, Land of the Living, so we hope that you can reach out a hand to those in need and try to be there for one another.
