I’m Natalie Patton and this is The Nth Degree, a storytelling show that’s meant to feel like you’re at the intersection of a literary bar and an intimate conversation. Each season, through stories, I’m going to explore a single topic to the nth degree. By that I mean I’m going to examine the topic to its furthest reaches in hopes that I can understand it better. This season, the topic is death and grief and all the things a person who experiences those might experience and feel and wonder about.
