When I Die

Student Life Newspaper Season 4 Episode 2

As the old adage goes, nothing is guaranteed in life except death and taxes. However, for so many people, death is often presumed to come later in life while taxes roll around every April. So, for this podcast, Editor-in-Chief Via Poolos and Senior Multimedia Editor Jared Adelman sat down with two people who are intimately familiar with the process of dying. In Act One, Dan Loesche explains Washington University's Gift of Body donation program and what it is like to be a mortician.  In Act Two, we talk with Barbara Finch, who is signed up to donate her body to Dan's program when she dies.
