Description
Death is the last great adventure. Humans have been curious about what happens after we die for millennia and today, we are unpacking everything you’ve ever wanted to know about kicking the bucket.

All this to answer the rude question, what’s it like to die? That’s what you're in for today on Impolite Society.
