Act I - Religious faction.
Scott Carrier investigates a radical Mormon fundamentalist church. Boring.
Act II - Beau O'Reilly reads a story about environmental activists in 1907s Illinois. Boring.
Act III - Ira Glass interviews Glen Lowery about race and friendship. Pretty interesting, wish it was longer.
Episode 60: Business of Death
Act I - The undertaking
A story of an undertaker from a family of undertakers who must embalm his own father. Well crafted how it interweaves the details of undertaking with the details of family. Recommended.
Act II - The Forbidden Zone
Mike Lesy talks about interviewing people who deal with death on a daily basis - homicide detectives, slaughter house workers, et cetera - to try to figure out what insights they have into the meaning of death. Interesting.
Act III - Fireman
An actor reads from a book about firemen. Interesting.
Act IV - David Sedaris reads something that has to do with cadavers and turds.
Act V - The happiest Death Worker
I don't really remember this story.
Megan Selig of Line Out points to this math rock band. They have an EP that you can download for free. It's face-melting sort of stuff, superfast. The EP is only 10 minutes long, but that's all right because that's about all I can stand to listen to in one sitting. The price is right, plus check out the sweet cover art.
Below is a video of these two, proving it is, in fact, just a guitarist and drummer.
