Episode description

My guest for this episode is Kate Cherrell. Kate is a writer, editor and creator of the excellent Burials & Beyond blog, which she describes as being about "life, death and the weird bits in-between".

She has a keen enthusiasm for cemeteries, unusual graves, death history, miserable Victorians, and the paranormal, all of which shines though in her writing.

In the interview we start by talking about how she got interested in these subjects, and what makes cemeteries and graveyards such fascinating places. Later on we discuss the origins of the Spiritualist movement in Britain, it’s influence on mediumship in more recent times, and how these practices are depicted in pop culture.

The Burials & Beyond Blog can be found at https://burialsandbeyond.com/.
