Summary

Check out of the noise of the world with a podcast covering people who've already checked out - but had their own brushes with fame before they went. Dead and Kind of Famous is a delightful new podcast from Courtney Blomquist (not famous) and Marissa Rivera (kind of famous) that examines the lives of the people who reside at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery. But these aren't the interred A-listers like Judy Garland and Burt Reynolds. These are the other people, the ones who pressed up against fame but never quite got their feet on it, and whose stories are certainly as interesting as their better known brethren.
