In Spring 2024 I was at the Salt Institute for Documentary Studies in Portland, Maine. You can listen to a story on at what age people expect to die here (featured on in WMPG 90.9), or, 24 hours above and below deck on a luxury cruise here.

Trigger warning: My story about death contains references to suicide which some individuals may find distressing. If you or someone you know is struggling, the US national suicide prevention hotline number is 988.
