Welcome back, explorer, to another chapter of cultural exploration on Juan Around, your digital passport to untold stories and immersive experiences. In this episode, we embark on a journey to Bulgaria, uncovering a tradition that intricately weaves death, memory, and the soul of small-town streets.

Picture this: sheets of paper delicately scattered across Bulgarian towns, each bearing the weight of printed announcements and the lingering memory of a life lived. These are the enigmatic necrologs, not mere ephemeral tributes but enduring markers that shape the cultural landscape.

Join me as I dive into a conversation with Emiliya Karaboeva, the researcher behind "Death and Memory in the Context of the Contemporary Bulgarian Street-Posted Obituary," exploring the cultural significance and lasting impressions of necrologs.
