There is a discussion of what we want to happen to our bodies when we die, and a new character "Dr Bonesy" is added to podcast canon. We mention the wonderful Geez magazine, which can find more information about at https://geezmagazine.org/Find us here:Website - breadandrosaries.comFacebook – facebook.com/BreadAndRosariesTwitter – @Bread_RosariesEmail – breadandrosaries@gmail.comAdam – @CommieXianOur theme song is "Good Morning" by Amine Maxwell, available here.
