Season 2 Episode 3: Dealings with Death
We are back!
The fact of the matter is… you can’t talk about people (and certainly not about archaeology) without talking about death. Lulu, Kelsey and Gill are back after a multi-year hiatus to talk about a big, juicy, grief-filled topic, which partially explains them being away from the podcast for so long. They dive into personal experiences with death and grief, along with how different cultures across the Earth and throughout time have dealt with it. The Pertaining to People Pod truly believes that the best way to deal with death and grief is to talk about it, so they want to do just that. Suffice to say, we don’t think you’ll be bored to death.
If you have personal experiences with death from cancer or tragedies such as car accidents, this might be a tough one for you. We hope you’ll still tune in.
