Marieke Hardy Is Going To Die

GEN FRICKER IS GOING TO DIE.
In 2018, radio host, comedian and writer Gen Fricker's life changed dramatically after an assault in the workplace - which made her reassess her own mortality and existence up to that point. In this Dream Funeral episode, Gen interrogates the Maori grief ritual of Tangihanga, ruminates on what she wants to leave behind as her legacy, and uncovers a slightly NSFW personal collection stashed away by her dead grandfather...

What is Marieke Hardy Is Going To Die?

Hello, my name is Marieke Hardy and I’m Going To Die. But that’s ok, because so are you. And so is everybody you know, including - and trust me, I’m as conflicted about this as you are - your dog. It’s confronting, especially in the brutal world we’re all doing our best to survive, but I believe there’s something important about this universal experience we’re all having together that worth interrogating. Join me as I speak to a variety of interesting, beautiful, imperfect humans (who are definitely going to die) and help them plan their dream funerals as they reflect on their lives, their longings, and how best to navigate this intense ride.
