Many of us experience life pre-and post death of a loved one. It's one of those experiences you can't avoid and can't unsee. Sure many of us fight to ignore or avoid feeling those feelings, but whether you accept death or not, there's no stopping it. On today's episode Lauren Seeley chats with us about the complexity of mourning estranged parents, speaking with those who have passed, holding space for grief, and much more.

Everywhere I go Y2K and 90's nostalgia seems to follow. We'll be exploring the socio-cultural conditions of the modern day that may have led to this yearning for the past, as well as the music, culture and fashion of the goths that came before us. We'll also dive into the causes and conditions behind the ever evolving markers of goth identity construction.

Our guests this episode are Moth, Hades and Cam, who you can also find at the Phantasmagoria events around Chicago!
