LastResponder Zw is a podcast about death…but more than that, it’s an exploration of what it means to live deeply in a world that fears loss. From personal reflections to deep dives, your host, mortician Gilda Chikodzore invites you behind the velvet curtain of the funeral world where honest & compassionate conversions can be had about death care, dignity, and the unspoken stories that live between grief and goodbye. The end isn’t really the end. So where do we begin?

  • 5 - Plot Math: The Politics of Burial

    Cemeteries are filling, land is contested, and alternatives such as cremation and aquamation are being proposed as solutions. But burial space is also a question of planning, class and power. This episode examines what cities owe both the living and the dead when there is no longer enough room to bury.

  • 4 - Gone: Endings that...Aren't Quite

    When we think about cremation, we often think about the fire. But what, if anything, could we find beyond the flames?


    In this episode, I explore cremation not as a procedure, but as an idea. Through personal reflection and my experiences, we sit with questions of disappearance, transformation, memory, and what it means to let go of the physical body.


    This isn’t an episode about how cremation works. It’s an invitation to reflect on what it asks of those left behind.

  • 3 - First Bodies, First Lessons

    What was it really like to walk into the morgue for the first time? In this episode, I talk about my first day attending practicals...the first bodies, the nerves, the lessons I didn't expect and how those moments defined my relationship with death and care.

  • 2 - Who & How They Began

    This episode traces the ancient origins of death care, the sacred hands that tended to the dead in Africa, Egypt, and Rome, to the shifting rituals that shaped how we say goodbye today.

    It’s a slow dive into memory, myth, and the meaning behind the role of “those who stay behind.”
