Mouthful of Ghosts

Everyone can identify with grief, but Maria beautifully weaves so many other lovely explorations into these conversation. It reminds me of way-back discovering the Death, Sex and Money show, and realizing there was so much more to what seemed like everyday topics. Highly recommend.

It’s rare to find a storyteller who infuses as much compassion into their curiosities as Maria Maddox. Lucky for us, then, that Maria, our ferociously talented and thoughtful narrator, creates a sonic world that not only welcomes us to search for our own compassion but also encourages us to explore our own curiosities about things unknown, questions that may never find answers. Mouthful of Ghosts is a gentle call-to-arms for the listening audience to experience— a deeply intimate series of audiojournals written by Maria and a flock of her inspired pool of friends, mentors, and inspirations— that asks us to consider why inevitable things like death, hauntings, and spirits make us so uncomfortable— and how, by merely expressing our own beliefs about the afterlife, we, collectively, can find peace with our own mortality and honoring it through the ancient art of storytelling.
