3: Taxidermy
It feels normal to try to preserve someone we've lost. But what does that do for us — and our grief? Comedian Mary Beth Barone seeks the wisdom of someone who makes mementos out of the once living: a very chic, very glamorous taxidermist. For a lot of us, losing a pet is our first introduction to death, and taxidermist Divya Anantharaman helps clients process that grief by turning their well-loved pet into a beautiful and lovingly stuffed memento.  Credits: Josh Bloch- For USG Audio Jessica Grimshaw- For USG Audio Jennifer Sears- For USG Audio Tara Frelund- For USG Audio Utkarsh Ambudkar- Host Gretta Cohn - Executive Producer Kesila Childers - Executive Producer Greg Lubin - Executive Producer Jordan Bailey – Lead Producer Camille Peterson - Producer Mary Beth Barone - Producer Sara Nics - Executive Editor Jasmine Flott- Music Supervisor AJ Hanneld- Graphic Artist Nocturnal Sound - Mixing and Sound Design This is a USG Audio podcast in collaboration with Transmitter Media and Powderkeg.
