Death And

Hosted by Victor M. Sweeney, Mortician

Equal parts heart, humor, and heaping portions of the unexpected, Death And explores how death colors the moments that make us human.

Small-town mortician (and accidental Internet sensation), Victor M. Sweeney brings curiosity, wit, astonishing stories, and plenty of gallows humor to each episode, teaming up with guests to dismantle taboos, address morbid questions and share real-life stories that find death lurking in everything from stand-up comedy to your morning cup of coffee.

If you’ve got a taste for the morbid, a love of laughter in unexpected places, and a craving for honest, unfiltered stories straight from the mortuary, Victor Sweeney is the guide you never knew you needed… and Death And is the show you’ve been dying to discover.
