0:00.0	Hi, I'm Clemy Telford and it's time to get open and get honest.
0:09.0	Each week I interview a guest about a topic that we as a society often shy away from.
0:15.0	From sex lives to salaries, life and death, religion and real bodies. No subject is off the table.
0:21.8	Welcome to Honestly, the podcast.
0:27.8	My ambition with this podcast is to remind people and myself that every person has a story.

1:34.0	One is an end-of-life dealer and the other a progressive funeral director.
1:38.1	Together they founded life, death, whatever, an initiative aimed at challenging and
