Mobituaries

Have you heard of Mo Rocca?

He does a podcast called Mobituaries.

He says, "My father got me interested in obituaries. He would always say the obits was his favorite section of the newspaper. And I think he loved them because he had a real sense of the romance of life - and I'm not being cute there. A good obit does feel like a movie trailer for an Oscar-winning biopic. The highs, the lows, the triumphs and the tragedies - there's a kind of sweep and a drama about them. But not everyone has gotten the send-off they deserve _ or really and send-off _ and of course, there are rarely obituaries for thing, for ideas, for places."

Anyway, they're kind of fun.
