Dying to Talk

Phaneuf’s new podcast

Dying to Talk is a light-hearted and upbeat discussion of those topics no one really wants to talk about. Each episode we choose a subject that is related to funeral services, the cremation process or death and dying.

New episodes every other Tuesday. Listen here or wherever you download podcasts.
