A "Happy" New Year from Death Studies Experts ...
I think they are living beings chatting about some good stuff

Best way to start 2026! It was a joy to be invited to The Death Studies Podcast @deathstudiespod.bsky.social 😄

The podcast, hosted by the amazing @drrenskevisser.bsky.social and the incredible Bethan Michael-Fox, is great for anyone looking to know more about death in a deeply entertaining format 🤩

One of my favourite episodes of @deathstudiespod.bsky.social. Not just a great episode for those who study Death Studies, but for anyone who has an interest in life, academic study, and many more subjects.
