(A)LIVE Funeral!
Big God Ollie has booked the church. That's the good news. The bad news? As Mel and Producer Goddess Charlie quickly discover, absolutely nothing else has been organised. Where There's A Will There's A Wake is doing a LIVE funeral with Amazon Music on 20th October and there are some very important questions that need answering... Who's getting buried? What's actually going to happen? And can the Death Team pull it all together before the big day? Over the next five episodes, join Mel, Charlie and the rest of the heavenly planners as they scramble to organise every last detail of this landmark live funeral. Expect divine intervention, questionable decision-making and plenty of opportunities for listeners to get involved along the way. Head over to Amazon Music to follow the rest of this exclusive mini-series, help shape the funeral plans, and find out everything you need to know before joining us for the live funeral itself on 20th October. Death waits for no one. And apparently, neither do production deadlines. We need your help! Send your ideas, funeral trends and fails into @willthereswake. Learn more about your ad choices.

The Frankenstein Cut
Deathlings, Mel's been busy in the Underworld laboratory, stitching together a monster made from the finest body parts of previous episodes. Inside this delightfully unnatural creation: Stephen Mangan gets surprisingly invested in bowing etiquette, Vicki Pepperdine suffers a spectacular skydiving death with Channing Tatum, Bridget Christie recruits Radiohead for her funeral procession, Matthew Baynton prepares to be buried with his false teeth intact, and Larry Dean's Spin For Your Sins ends in eternal damnation while Mel enjoys a rather more heavenly outcome.

Deadly Hot Takes
Summer’s nearly done, Death‑lings — and things have been getting seriously hot both here in the UK and in the afterlife. Temperatures rising, tempers flaring, and Mel Giedroyc has found herself right at the centre of a blistering swirl of deadly hot takes. These are the moments that went bonkers viral, so we’ve gathered them up, cooled them just enough to be safe for human consumption, and packed them neatly into one combustible little bundle. Expect freshly‑singed contributions from Peter Serafinowicz, Maisie Adam, Vicki Pepperdine and Joel Dommett — all sparking off Mel in ways that probably violate several celestial fire‑safety regulations.
