Episode Fifty-Eight – Over My Dead Body Stories of cemeteries, explicit lyrics, patents and podcasting laws, driving and old age, and what it’s like to imagine one’s own wake… Featuring stories from independent producers JP Davidson and Sean Rasmussen.

Episode Fifty-Seven — Are You Gonna Finish That? Our theme for today is…“Are You Gonna Finish That?” We’ll hear stories of collecting, recollecting, unfinished projects of various types, and a story about waiting impatiently for the end of it all.  Our first story comes from guest producer Sarah Geis for This Land Press, a multi-media company out of Tulsa, Oklahoma.
