Kacey Ward, a Youth Radio’s youth producer, produced Understanding Death because she was curious to discuss with her mom about how her family members’ deaths caused her to be afraid of it. Kacey goes back and forth with her thoughts and her mom’s explanations of why Kacey needed to be protected from attending funerals. Kacey shared her experiences and feelings with her listeners about her great grandmother’s horrible death, and deaths of her 17-year-old cousin, 18-year-old cousin, great grandpa, and grandpa. Because of these deaths, Kacey’s mom thinks that Kacey should be prepared; therefore, she took Kacey to Kacey’s second funeral. Kacey describes her feelings and experiences in great detail when she saw her cousin in his coffin. This piece is very philosophical and difficult to listen to. Yet, the producer manages to narrate this piece in great detail and neutrality. Lastly, adding soft music to this piece would make it more powerful.
