Here at Death is Everything we have the utmost respect for those who help people in their transition to death. Heck, some of us on this show do it for a living! So we find unique camaraderie with this week’s 7 Minutes in Heaven as we break out the magnifying glass and look at ant undertakers. That’s right, it turns out that even shrunken down to insect size, there are roles in caring for the dead. It’s a small world after all!

We’re starting the new season of Death is Everything with a bang, or at least a long, protracted toot! Pass time (and certainly not anything else) with Marianne, Chris, Angel and sometimes Joey as they divulge crucial DIE Crew lore and commiserate over the horrors of modern living. Then enjoy a cut up of curious life-and-death stories. No cheese involved, but there are cute cat statues, a dose of legendary grave robbing, vampiric burials, and history’s coolest mine-hunting rat. Where will our rambling tangents and rumbling tummies take us today? Listen in to find out, Land of the Living!
