After Nancy Reece Jones’ mom died, she realized she needed to talk more about death, about how to have a good one, about how to be kind to others who also need to talk. Maybe all of us should say what we want to say about the inevitable over tea and cookies. Turns out there’s a movement for that and it’s called the Death Cafe. Reporters Katheryn Houghton and Nicky Ouellet visited the Flathead Valley’s cafe and talked to the living about death.
Also: Nicky is back with this episode’s short feature, a story about a Whitefish ’80s cover band with dreams to blow it up, maybe even pay rent or play Vegas. It’s a story about ambition, punctuated with some killer kick drums.
