Memento Mori. What Does it Really Mean?
You are going to die. What if remembering that is the key to actually living well? Most of us don’t spend much time thinking about death. But when we do, something interesting happens: we start to see what matters. This week, Marianne and Charlie kick off a brand-new series exploring the humanities and the art of dying.
From the lavish life and hidden cause of death of Liberace to the driving funk of The Rolling Stones’ "Dancing with Mr. D," we explore how history, art, and myth use mortality not to create fear, but to bring ultimate clarity to life. Tune in, grab Liberace's recipe for Singapore and Malaysian Satay, and learn how to carpe the heck out of your diem.
