Surrounded By Death: The REAL Psychological Toll Behind Taxidermy with Elle Kaye #50
Friday, September 18, 2026 • Duration 01:11:42
Elle Kaye spends her days surrounded by death - and directly in the crosshairs of relentless online hate.
Serial killer stereotypes and creepy cabin clichés obscure what is a profession of profound art, care and ethics.
Working with dead animals gives Elle a unique perspective on life, our mortality, and the unimaginable toll of those who insult what they can’t understand.
So step into the mind of Elle Kaye, as we navigate the darkest corners of the web, and learn to unapologetically stand in your difference instead of hiding from it.
NOTE: This episode was originally recorded in September 2024
This episode covers
The profound psychological impact of working intimately with death
The ethical tightrope of working with death, natural causes
Adult bullying, trolling, and anti‑Semitism
The mental health cost of being visible online
The culture of ‘tall‑poppy syndrome’ in Britain
Why we’re so uncomfortable with success and death

Episode 49
Friday, September 11, 2026 • Duration 01:02:20
Becky Briggs ran a 2:29 marathon aged just 22 - but the more shocking journey is that she even made it to the start line.

When running stops being a hobby and starts being a coping mechanism
