(A Family Undertaking (Photo by Andrew Kist))
We get intimate. We visit with people who have abandoned the funeral industry for home burials. We meet a woman who collects hair. We listen to a family of women skinny dipping. We offer a dramatic monologue, written by David Cale, about a phone-sex operator. Also this week, reflections on an abandoned project that could change the way you hear music. And the return, at long last, of vocal acrobat Zero Boy.

Sunny Side Up
Writer David Cale has introduced us to many people through his short stories. This week, we meet Hayley Collins, a young woman who’s found a unique way to benefit from some men’s preference for a woman with a British accent. “Sunny Side Up” was performed by Cara Seymour.

Skinny Dipping
A cool night, a full moon, and a secluded lake. What better opportunity for a family dip? Next Big Thing contributor Bente Birkeland sent this audio postcard from White Bear Lake in Minnesota, where she and the three generations of women in her family spend their summers skinny dipping.
