Summary

This episode is a callback to an earlier episode on Tomorrow, Today, with Dr. Scott Cave. We chat about cemeteries, their unique place as third spaces, how they can be sources of community and radical ecology work, and more!   This is one of my favorites so if you didn't listen before, listen now!

and we talk about the role that cemeteries have played historically, as well as their work,
