Description

If you could plan your perfect death, what would you do?

Join Kathy Burke as she chats to the likes of Dawn French, James Acaster and Jamali Maddix asking them questions like 'how do you want to die?', 'where are you going next?' and of course, 'who gets your prized possessions?'.

It's a hilarious, irreverent, dark and sometimes moving podcast where our guests will see their death brought to life as they plan their final day from dawn to dusk and into the afterlife.

A Sony Music Entertainment production.

Love this podcast. But someone needs to sort the recording for the sharp "S" sound when recording Kathy in particular. Don't remember such an issue before, but I have really noticed in the past few recordings. To point, I have to turn volume right down to stop my ears getting sore. Please look at it so I can keep listening!

"Where There's A Will, There's A Wake" is a British television sitcom that aired in the early 2000s. The show centers around the quirky events that unfold after the death of a wealthy family member. The will reading sets off a series of comedic situations involving inheritance, family dynamics, and unexpected surprises. The title plays on the traditional saying "Where there's a will, there's a way," with a humorous twist, focusing on the chaos that ensues when a will is involved. The series is known for its light-hearted humor and eccentric characters. https://reweprospekt.com.de/rewe-kaffee-angebot-diese-woche/
