Have We Got the Wrong Attitude to Death?
Listen now
Description
Tricky is the place to discuss difficult questions away from the bear pit of social media. Youtuber Kirstie Bryce and Muslim convert Aisha Murray join cancer survivor John McGrogan and embalmer Kelly McBride to consider whether we need to change how we talk about death. They’ve all had to make peace with their feelings about it, whether it be through their profession, faith or personal experiences and can’t understand why it remains such a taboo. For all of them the only way to draw death’s sting is to be open and honest about the one thing we’re all going to experience, whoever we are. Producers: Myles Bonnar and Peter McManus Editor: Anthony Browne A BBC Scotland production for Radio 4
