Om denne podcast

It’s a Death Sentence An unexpectedly deeply human podcast about life, death and everything hilarious and heartbreaking in between. Hosted by two women in their 40s: one, an APT performing daily autopsies, the other; a professional singer! Both have stared grief in the face — and somehow learned to laugh anyway. A home for anyone who has lost someone . Because grief doesn’t just touch individuals. It ripples through families, friendships and whole cultural communities.
It’s a Death Sentence has lively discussions, shared stories, and interviews, were we unspoken rules, the strange rituals, and the quiet solidarity found when we are ready to mourn together .Each episode dives into the messy, taboo, and occasionally gruesome sides of being alive (and not).
Expect sharp British sarcasm, uncomfortable honesty, and the kind of dark humour that makes you laugh just when you think you shouldn’t. They ask the questions we’ve all Googled in private — and answer them out loud.
🎙️ Tune in to laugh, cry, and get a little bit philosophical about what it means to live after loss.
