We love candles here at DIE and are willing to bet there’s a good chance that you do too. Seriously, is the Venn Diagram of “death positive people” and “candle lovers” a circle? If not then it’s likely close! But open flames naturally bring with them risk. Luckily we’ve got you covered! Listen in to our Resident Candle Expert and “Fan of Burning Things” Marianne as she highlights key safety measures you should definitely have in mind when employing candles. Stay safe and burn bright, Land of the Living!

We here at DIE tend toward the macabre (who would’ve thought) and thus have a fascination with all things creepy crawly, such as this week’s focus, cryptids! These shadowy creatures defy explanation, inspire horrific tales, and highlight the wonders of a universe filled to the brim with as-yet unexplained phenomena. Real or not, they are a gateway into how we interact with the world and, naturally, our concepts of death and the great beyond. Join us as we dig into some of the more deadly and deathly of these eldritch beings, including acid-spitting desert worms; a voracious legend of spiritual folklore; a predator with a sweet tooth for farm animals; and of course, the Monster of the Moment, the mysterious (and possessor of copious cake) Mothman! Listen in and let us know about your favorite cryptids, whether you think they are real or a product of society’s overactive imagination, and of course any opinions you may have about Mothman’s generous posterior!

Have you been feeling the Winter Chill more than usual this year? Buried in blankets, heater blasting? Take solace that at least you aren’t as cold as this week’s focal point, Ötzi the Iceman! Found frozen in ice after 5,000 years, Ötzi probably has us all beat when it comes to the extremes of cold exposure. Keep warm, listen in, and celebrate the fact that you’re not a literal frozen popsicle person!
