Show overview
7 Questions About Death launched in 2023 and has put out 24 episodes in the time since. That works out to roughly 10 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a weekly cadence.
Episodes typically run twenty to thirty-five minutes — most land between 26 min and 28 min — and the run-time is fairly consistent across the catalogue. None of the episodes are flagged explicit by the publisher. It is catalogued as a EN-language Society & Culture show.
The catalogue appears to be on hiatus or wound down — the most recent episode landed 2 years ago, with no new episodes in over a year. The busiest year was 2024, with 18 episodes published. Published by CJSR 88.5 FM.
From the publisher
It affects us all and is a reality for everyone we know. Yet, many of us never talk about it, even with those closest to us. This show’s aim is to help make death a more natural topic of conversation. Every week, people from diverse backgrounds and with varied beliefs answer 7 questions about death. These intimate conversations run the gamut from funny to heart-breaking. Some may inspire you. All are thought-provoking. This podcast is hosted and produced by Beth Janzen and airs weekly on Wednesdays on CJSR, a volunteer community radio station in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
