Maggie Crane can’t stop talking about death. She likes to ruin parties, Thanksgiving at her ex's parents house, first dates and last dates by asking people what they want to happen with their body after they die or who they think killed JonBenét Ramsey (brother!), so she decided to slap on that record button, because there are only two certainties in this life: everyone dies and everyone starts a podcast. Dead Beat is at its best a podcast about the normalization of death and at its worst Maggie ripping way too many Lime-A-Rita's and yelling about the 9 circles of hell.
Maggie shleps to the Upper East Side to talk to artist Arabella Friedland, who lives in her dead dad’s apartment and regularly fends off his ex-girlfriends.
