Episode 112: Facets (ad-free)
Added 2019-04-15 08:00:01 +0000 UTCOf all the parts of life that we can depend on, one of the darkest parts is loss. That’s the trouble with being surrounded by mortal, fragile human beings; at some point, the people we love won’t be here anymore. Which is why the mourning process is the playground for all sorts of powerful bits of folklore.
