How to Turn a Human Body Into Soil, and Other Things I’ve Learned

If you’re here, we know that means you like a good story — but we also know that sometimes it can be hard to sit down and actually read one. Did you know we have audio versions of most of our written stories? So, next time you’re on a walk, washing the dishes, folding the laundry, unpacking your groceries (oof, could we go on…), might we suggest pairing that rather routine experience with a Narratively audio essay to make it that much more enjoyable? Mallory McDuff’s new piece about her exploration of environmentally friendly end-of-life choices with her students is a great place to start — it’s about a subject matter we don’t collectively talk about enough, it’s thought provoking and it’s beautifully written. For audio versions of even more of our stories, head to our Narratively Out Loud podcast in Spotify, Apple or the podcast player of your choice. Still prefer to read? Find the written version of this story — the latest in our Personals section — here. Enjoy! —Narratively This is a public episode.
