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 AudioJessica Grimshaw- For USG AudioJennifer Sears- For USG AudioTara Frelund- For USG AudioUtkarsh Ambudkar- HostGretta Cohn - Executive ProducerKesila Childers - Executive ProducerGreg Lubin - Executive ProducerJordan Bailey – Lead ProducerCamille Peterson - ProducerMary Beth Barone - ProducerSara Nics - Executive EditorJasmine Flott- Music SupervisorAJ Hanneld- Graphic ArtistNocturnal Sound - Mixing and Sound DesignThis is a USG Audio podcast in collaboration with Transmitter Media and Powderkeg.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
