Welcome back to the Ghost Bunny podcast. I'm your host, Bridget Markort, with a brand new episode for you guys.

My guests today are Spencer Henry and Madison Reyes. Spencer Henry and Madison Reyes are the dynamic duo behind obituary, the wildly popular podcast that finds humor in history's most bizarre, deaths, funeral traditions, and obituary oddities.

What started as a long-standing habit of sending each other's strange obituaries evolved

into a full-fledged phenomenon.

When Spencer, already known for his hit True Crime podcast cult leader, asked Madison to join

him in launching obituary.

She said yes immediately,

and the rest is history, dark, hilarious, and morbidly fascinating history. Together,

their undeniable chemistry and quick-witted storytelling have captivated audiences, leading to

multiple U.S. tours and dedicated, ever-growing community of listeners who can't get enough

of their sharp humor

and deep dives into the macabre.

Their success reached new heights in 2004 with the release of Obituary, The Big Hot

Book of Death, a New York Times bestseller that takes readers on a wildly entertaining

journey through history's strangest send-offs, the weird world of death

culture, and the many, many ways people have met their end. With a fearless

approach to storytelling and a knack for uncovering the strange, shocking, and

downright absurd, Spencer and Madison continue to push boundaries, proving that

sometimes the best way to face mortality is with a laugh. And I'm so excited to have them here today.

Spencer and Madison, thank you so much for doing the podcast today. Thanks for having us.

I know it's going to be so much fun today, so I'm really excited. But first, will you just tell

everybody about your podcast obituary. Where to start.
