Death by Dying Podcast @deathbydyingpod.bsky.social · Feb 7

Welcome, new and seasoned listeners alike, to the chaos, now on a new platform! We are a horror comedy fiction podcast about an obituary writer (THE Obituary Writer) solving small town mysteries while life absolutely whips him around like a dog with a chew toy. Check us out linktr.ee/deathbydying...

Cover art for the podcast Death by Dying. A blood-splattered gravestone perches on a desk chair in front of a desk with a typewriter, books, a lamp, and a red coffee mug on it, while the dark pale green silhouetted skyline of Crestfall looms in the background. A font that looks like typewriter keys reads “Death by Dying” and underneath it, a smaller, white, slightly creepy, cracking font reads “Crestfall, Idaho Obit”

I always picture OW running like Jack Sparrow. But still looking fabulous.

It should always be assumed that no matter the situation, I look stunning. Dinner with friends? Incredible style. Investigating murders in town? Not a single crease. Running for my life in the dead of night? Even the blood stains will be perfectly placed. Prime disaster chic.

Just a thought…

A sketch of a winking skull wearing a top hat over a dark purple background and worn typewriter text that reads “Hey… now might be a good time to catch up on Death by Dying… Just sayin’…”

Thank you all again, from the bottom of our bloody hearts, for caring about this wacky show. It means the world to us. Here’s to more obituaries… the fun, fictional kind, that is.

We have a vision for Season 2 – these are long, epic episodes, and we want to imbue them with the cinematic quality we always intended for them to have.

At the end of the day, it’s just the two of us creating this show. From preproduction to post, we trade wearing all the hats that make Death by Dying possible.

Listening and spreading the good word of the Obituary Writer’s antics keeps the heartbeat of the podcast thumpin’. We plan on sharing progress updates more often on social media and our Patreon so folks can come along on this adventure with us as we put this labor of love together.

We love Death by Dying and want to give it the attention it deserves, for our sakes and for the sake of our lovely fans. The Patreon continues to run with weekly and monthly bonus content, and we maintain it because we want to give something to our community with the bandwidth we currently have.

The last few years have involved a great deal of change for both of us – between cross-country moves, chronic health issues, difficult losses, and taking care of ourselves through “DESPAIR AND CALAMITY!” (as the Button-Eyed Raven would say), it’s been challenging to dedicate time to the show.

Hello, dearest Crestfallens! Evan and Niko here. We wanted to provide everyone with an update. Season 2 will return. There are six more episodes, and we’re trying our best to bring them to you, though we cannot yet say for certain when those release dates will be. 🧵

White square over creepy forest background. Pictures designed to look like polaroids are positioned in all four corners of the white square. The pictures are: The cover art for Death by Dying Season 2, Evan Gulock and Niko Gerentes at a podcast convention, Evan Gulock and Niko Gerentes in suits, and the Obituary Writer in his hat and jacket. The white square contains a winking skull in a top hat and text that reads: “Death by Dying S2 2025 Update”

Our merch has a new storefront! TeePublic has transitioned to Dashery. Nothing else has really changed, but a good reminder as any that you can get “I Kick Ass for the Lord” on a t-shirt. Or a mug. Or a sticker. Or a pillow.
