• Field of Corpses
    Oct 2 2026

    This week, we’re heading to the body farm, because apparently there are places where you can donate your body to science and spend your afterlife decomposing in a field. We’re getting into what actually happens at a body farm, why researchers study decomposition, and, most importantly, what the hell happens to your clothes while you’re out there rotting.

    Then, naturally, we take a hard left turn into our newest grievance: Gen Z talking shit about Millennial fashion. Apparently skinny jeans, side parts, and whatever else we wore are “out,” while they’re walking around in sweatpants and somehow wearing the exact same clothes we did 15 years ago.

    From dead bodies to dead fashion trends, this episode really has it all.

  • Ashes to Assets
    Sep 25 2026

    What do used caskets, secondhand urns, unhinged Facebook Marketplace listings, and the algorithm convincing us we desperately need something we’ve never heard of have in common? Absolutely nothing… and somehow, everything.

    This week, we’re turning ashes into assets as we talk about the world of previously loved caskets and urns, the absolute chaos lurking on Facebook Marketplace, and the increasingly personal experience of being aggressively target marketed things we definitely do not need (but suddenly feel like we cannot live without).

    Then it’s time for Flame It or Frame It, featuring an Instagram meme Bailey found that may or may not deserve a permanent place on the internet.

    Because apparently, even death can be repurposed, resold, and targeted by the algorithm.

  • Cremation is Getting Expensive, Dating is Getting Worse
    Sep 11 2026

    Cremation prices are going up, and apparently death isn’t immune to inflation. This week, we’re kicking things off with the $975-to-$1,275 cremation price jump, what that extra $300 might actually get you, and how exactly you become the person trusted to operate the equipment when someone is getting cremated. Because yes, there is actual training involved.

    Then we make the completely natural transition from cremation to modern dating. We revisit the absolute fever dream that was MTV dating shows, compare them to dating in 2026, and ask ourselves how we went from strangers being forced to choose between three questionable suitors on television to swiping through 47 people named Matt.

    Plus, another round of Flame It or Frame It, because apparently we still have plenty of opinions about death, dating, and everything in between.

    It’s cremation, career paths, MTV nostalgia, and dating disasters. Basically, a perfectly normal conversation.

  • Memorial Miles and Musical Crimes
    Jul 10 2026

    This week we're taking a stroll through memorial gardens... literally. We explore the surprisingly popular memorial walkways and ash gardens outside UK soccer stadiums, then discover that most U.S. stadiums are seriously dropping the ball when it comes to honoring lifelong fans. Bailey finally gives Chelsea a deadline to get her postmortem wishes together before she's forced to make executive decisions, and then we pivot into a full-blown roast of Lil Wayne after he bailed on his Bangor concert. Memorials, mortality, and musical misdemeanors, just another completely normal episode of Does This Make My Ash Look Big?

  • Field Day for the Dead
    Jun 19 2026

    This week, Bailey and Chelsea tackle a surprisingly important question: what happens when someone's ashes are lost before a memorial ceremony? After exploring alternatives to traditional cremated remains and debating whether turning ashes into smooth, pocket-sized remembrance stones is heartfelt or horrifying, things take a sharp turn into a full-blown rant session.

    The conversation quickly spirals into one of life's greatest injustices: kids get entire summers off, field days, snow days, and random pizza parties, while adults get spreadsheets, meetings, and lower back pain. From postmortem planning to playground envy, this episode asks the questions nobody can answer: Why did we stop rewarding people with popsicles and sack races? And who decided adulthood should be this boring?

    As always, expect questionable opinions, unnecessary complaints, and absolutely no expert advice.

  • Bound in Ashes, Unbound in the Streets
    May 29 2026

    This week’s episode of Bound in Ashes, Unbound in the Streets starts off surprisingly literary and somehow ends with us questioning the emotional stability of sports fans everywhere.

    We kick things off by discussing turning cremated remains into book ink, pressing ashes into book pages, and whether becoming part of someone’s personal library is deeply sentimental or just haunting in hardcover form. Naturally, this spirals into a round of Flame It or Frame It, where dignity once again takes a backseat.

    Then the episode takes a hard pivot straight into the chaos of the NBA Finals, where we unpack why sports fans celebrate championships by climbing traffic lights, setting couches on fire, and treating their own cities like a demolition derby. We also air our grievances about our mostly tragic football teams and the emotional damage that comes with lifelong sports loyalty. It’s part cremation innovation, part sports therapy session, and fully unhinged from start to finish.

  • Please Don't Put Me There!
    May 22 2026

    This week’s episode asks one very important question: how disrespectful is too disrespectful when it comes to someone’s ashes? From horrifying scattering scenarios to the absolute worst places and ways to handle cremains, we uncovered several things that should probably get you removed from the will immediately.

    We’re also joined by our hilarious friend Jackie, who shares her post-mortem wishes, proving once again that planning your death can actually be deeply entertaining.

    Plus, we spiral into discussing things we simply do not understand, including parklets, bike circuses, and other societal mysteries that apparently exist just to confuse us.

  • Hot Dogs and Human Remains
    May 15 2026

    We officially entered our video era, which means for the first time ever, you can physically watch us spiral in real time. The chaos kicked off with the story of someone putting ashes into a bowling ball, because apparently memorial jewelry was simply not committed enough. Did we do extensive research? Absolutely not. Did we immediately form strong opinions anyway? Of course.

    From there, things somehow escalated into stories about people spreading ashes at professional sporting events, which led to the very important debate of when a heartfelt tribute crosses the line into “security is escorting you out.” Respectful memorial or airborne biohazard? The answer may depend on wind speed.

    Naturally, the conversation then took a sharp and deeply unnecessary turn into discussing the exact moment it becomes socially unacceptable to take a bite of food while someone is trauma dumping or delivering piping hot gossip. Is maintaining eye contact while chewing supportive? Criminal? Society may never recover from this debate.

    We also played a round of Flame It or Frame It, where questionable ideas, questionable behavior, and probably questionable morals were all put on trial.

    It’s unserious. It’s judgmental. It’s somehow about grief and snack timing. And now, unfortunately for everyone involved, it’s all on video.
