Here Lies Me is a dark and funny scripted podcast about middle school for teens and adults. But, like, real middle school. There’s friend drama and period drama. (Though it’s not a period drama.) There’s an intense debate over the meaning of “humping.” There’s murder. Wait, is there? Tune in to find out.

About the Podcast
Middle school will bury you.
Or at least that’s how it feels to Noa. It's the first day of eighth grade, and the Olivias are already icing her out. The weird kid who calls himself God publicly proclaims his love for her and then punches the guy Noa kinda sorta (definitely doesn’t!) have a crush on. Desperate to get God to leave her alone, Noa teams up with a secret club and they cook up a revenge plot to take him down. But when tragedy strikes, the line between harasser and victim becomes murky. Will Noa have to give in to being God’s girlfriend… forever?

What People Are Saying
-
“Here Lies Me [is] making me cringe, laugh, and get all emotional. And the acting/directing is incredible.”
James Kim, Moonface

“Frank is perhaps best known in the audio world as the creator and host of The Longest Shortest Time, a podcast born out of the pre-Serial era that was notable for the way it took parenting as a serious subject of inquiry, narrative, and humor. With Here Lies Me, and supported by producer Hannah Boomershine, Frank gets to parlay her earned wisdom into a whole new genre. The results are exciting.”

Apple Podcasts Review
-
“This podcast gave me nods to the Bo Burnham film Eighth Grade, Big Mouth on Netflix, and to throw in a Canadian reference, Degrassi. But please don't let the idea of a ‘teen drama’ deter you. Teens and adults alike will equally enjoy this show.”
