  • Summary

  • If you could plan your perfect death, what would you do? Join Kathy Burke as she chats to the likes of Dawn French, James Acaster and Jamali Maddix asking them questions like 'how do you want to die?', 'where are you going next?' and of course, 'who gets your prized possessions?'. It's a hilarious, irreverent, dark and sometimes moving podcast where our guests will see their death brought to life as they plan their final day from dawn to dusk and into the afterlife.

one of my favourite podcasts

Kathy Burke is truly a "national treasure" of the UK. This podcast is fantastic for fans of British comedy, the macabre, explicit language and knowing more about the celebs you watched on bake-off. Often heart-warming, and a bit of a laugh. The musical genius of the Rathbones is a lovely addition.
