About this listen

In this at-once hilarious and heartbreaking series, In-Depth Market Research Interviews with Dead People, Alison Espach explores our collective idiosyncrasies, neuroses, and desires through the consumer choices, big and small, that we face every day.

Was there any particular reason that, near the end of your lives, you suddenly stopped buying Bounty paper towels? So begins the first question from Bounty’s market research representative to Paul and Maggie. In this unique short story, a couple who died suddenly in their 50s recounts their use of Bounty paper towels and their sudden switch to a bargain brand near the end of their lives. What appears to be a run-of-the-mill spat between spouses at the Stop & Shop is revealed to be a defining moment of a marriage years in decline and a chance for two people to make sense of their complicated past.

Though provoking

An extremely smartly written beautifully tragic story about the complexities of 2 human lives once they get intertwined.

Trite yet meaningful

It's a really great conversation between a posthumous couple but lacks tightness of development and becomes trite.

Very interesting.

A very interesting story. I learnt that people use products for reasons that are hidden their subconscious mind. Men and women behave differently for various reasons. Their buying behaviour is governed by subtle reasons.
