{"store":{"baseInfo":{"podcastTitle":"Over My Dead Poddy","slug":"overmydeadpoddy","podcastDescription":"

Over My Dead Poddy is the podcast that lifts the lid on death, dying, and funerals – busting the common funeral myths with honesty, humour, and heart.

Hosted by three passionate professionals who work across the funeral industry, it’s a human-focussed, fear-facing, no-nonsense look at what really happens when it’s time to say goodbye to those we love – and why it matters.

We’re here to answer the questions you’ve always wondered about but never quite dared to ask. From the practical to the personal, from the weird to the wonderful – nothing is off limits.

Delivered with warmth, wit and humanity, these conversations are designed not just to inform, but to inspire you to have the conversations we’re all scared of having. We want to help you feel more confident talking about death and funerals – with your family, your friends, and, when the time comes, with people like us.
Real talk about the one thing we all have in common.
