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.

Caroline’s mattress had nothing to do with her untimely death at the age of 28—this, she wants Tempur-Pedic’s market research representative to know. But as she reflects on her first ever mattress purchase and their interview progresses, Caroline dives into the circumstances and decisions that led her and Nicholas—her boyfriend, 10 years her senior and prone to sleeping on the floor—to that particular bed in that particular shopping plaza. Ultimately, Caroline has the opportunity to reckon with the struggles she faced near the end of her life, and the story of a complex, bold young woman emerges.

A strangely compelling story. I couldn't stop listening. I believe if it was a full sized novel I would still be listening.

Soft!

I'm gutted to have finished this trilogy of short stories because I have lobed them and the phenomenal performances so very much. Espach truly is a maestro of heartbreak and reflection with the posthumous product interview being such a glorious amusing and disarming framing device.

All three stories have truly been perfection in short stories/ audio dramas and performances. I'm in awe.

Espach is a Wizard of Intimate Pain & Emotion!

they have taken a silly or flimsy story line. But it makes it even more hilarious. It is well written and extremely well performed.

Having listened to all three of the 'in depth' series one after the other, I thought this one was the weakest.

Bounty was by far the best, with a profound message & engaging dialogue. This one just seemed lacking & the interviewer sounded bored.

Glad I listened as the concept is great, but it wasn't the best story.

Just ok.
