This Day in Deaths is a fiction podcast that sounds like a late-night obituary broadcast — except every name is invented, every death is specific, and every life is stranger and more ordinary than the last.

Each episode crosses midnight with a roll call of the day’s dead: where they were, what they were carrying, who survived them, and the small belongings nobody at the desk knew what to do with. A water-damaged children’s book. A shoebox marked ISLANDS. A coat with destinations written inside the lining. The worst thing in the world, told as plainly as a wet curb or a clock ticking from 11:58 to 11:59.

This is not true crime. It is not horror. It is immersive narrative fiction — compassionate, absurdist, and told with the gravity of a broadcast that has run out of room for euphemism.

New episodes regularly.

Good morning. Good night.
