Les mer The Dead Beat

In the Summer of 2021, friends and colleagues Mary Kate and Solana were on a walk talking about what young ladies usually talk about: obituaries and murder. Well, in fact, many young women ages 18-35 are deeply interested in stories of death and murder. These women make up the dominant demographic listening to true crime podcasts. And these podcasts are a big deal, scoring millions of downloads a week. Other popular and creepy genres are also important to consider, like the obituary. Why are these genres such a big deal? Why aren't all kinds of people included? Join us as we consider genres about death and dying, and how some storytelling leaves certain kinds of bodies out.

EPISODE +1 Overlooked Bodies

This week's driving question is: what constitutes a grievable body? Mary Kate covers the obituary of a badass woman and hiker and Solana shares the story of a journalist out of LA who pushes back against true crime infotainment.

EPISODE 0: Brief Histories

How did we get to be so true crime obsessed? How did obituaries come to be the standardized last word after someone dies? And why should anyone care about true crime or obits, anyway? This week, Solana and Mary Kate will answer these questions and define concepts like the politics of loss and the grievable body.

Liker at det er både Podcaster (godt utvalg) og lydbøker i samme app, pluss at man kan holde Podcaster og lydbøker atskilt i biblioteket.

Bra app. Oversiktlig og ryddig. MYE bra innhold⭐️⭐️⭐️
