The Obituary
Hello, hello,
A new one for you.
Not long after Alex’s wife Whitney dies, he looks at her obituary and discovers something strange. A sect of people online has hijacked her story and turned it into a disturbing conspiracy theory.
As always, if you have comments about the episode (or thoughts about the current state of the internet) please leave them below. We don’t often chime in, but we follow the conversation here.
About the art in the newsletter this week“Mattress Shopping”, by Ricky WilsonAll the art this week is from the talented artists at Project: Onward, in Chicago. They’re a non-profit studio and gallery that works with and exhibits artists with disabilities. Whitney, who this week’s story is about, worked there.
Also, most of the art in this newsletter is for sale!
(I should say, it is for sale *for now.* I picked art that I like and would like to buy, but I absolutely invite you to swipe them ahead of me. When else do you get to snag something from the shopping cart of your friendly neighborhood podcast host?)
“Louis’ Brain,” by Louis DeMarco (for sale here)We’ll be next week with another episode for you. I mentioned this at the top of the show, but if you’re subscribed to Incognito Mode, we have a rare and fun on-mic conversation with our show’s editor, Sruthi Pinnamaneni, coming at you this week.
See you soon,
PJ
Oh, also, sorry. One last piece I really liked from Project: Onward.
"Brain 45 The Ultimate Search Engine,” by Bill Douglas.Okay, okay that’s all for real. See you next Friday.
