Since he was a child, humorist Mo Rocca has been fascinated by obituaries. Host Karen Bussen asks him why on this episode of Farewelling: The Podcast. Mo answers that question, plus gives us his thoughts on why we don’t talk about death, why he created a podcast called “Mobituaries,” and what three items he’d pack for the afterlife.
Multi-talented CBS Sunday Morning correspondent, humorist, author and podcast host Mo Rocca joins Farewelling Founder Karen Bussen in the studio for a delightful chat about his latest book, “Mobituaries: Great Lives Worth Reliving,” and the new season of the podcast that inspired the book, also titled “Mobituaries.” They talk about facing death beautifully, why Marlene Dietrich was such a patriot, and what’s on Mo’s own bucket list (hint: it involves gymnastics).
Mo Rocca is an award-winning writer, humorist, correspondent, podcast host, public radio superstar, and author of “Mobituaries: Great Lives Worth Reliving. To find out more, visit the Farewelling site.
