Every Thursday they come to the table with bizarre history, strange funeral traditions, and so much more!

I am a bit picky with the podcasts I listen to. I just don't connect with all of them, but I LOVE the
Obitchuary podcast. I have found that while listening in I have laughed til I've cried easily every episode. Spencer and Madison are fabulous! I've talked about this podcast with everyone I know, and many are now hooked on it as well.
If you're looking for a new podcast to listen to and actually enjoy, give them a shot. You won't be disappointed.

Simply the BEST
