Mobituaries is such a fascinating podcast and book series by Mo Rocca—it’s this perfect blend of humor, history, and heartfelt storytelling that makes obscure or forgotten figures feel alive again. If you're looking to dive into it for free online, your best bet is checking out platforms like Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or Google Podcasts for the audio version. The podcast episodes are usually available at no cost, and they capture Mo’s witty, conversational style brilliantly. For the book adaptation, 'Mobituaries: Great Lives Worth Reliving,' you might hit a snag since free full-text versions aren’t legally available, but libraries often offer digital loans via apps like Libby or Hoopla. I’ve borrowed it that way before, and it’s a seamless experience.
If you’re open to snippets, Google Books or Amazon sometimes provide free previews of the first few chapters, which is great for getting a taste. Honestly, though, the podcast is where the magic really shines—Mo’s delivery adds so much personality to these stories. I’d also recommend poking around YouTube; occasionally, interview clips or promotional readings pop up there. Just a heads-up: avoid sketchy sites claiming to have PDFs. They’re rarely legit, and supporting creators matters, especially for niche projects like this. The podcast alone is worth binge-listening—I once spent a whole weekend hooked on episodes about forgotten presidents and obscure pop culture icons.

It was in the Era of Harmony, trillions of years ago, when Chaos first arrived.
To stop all existence from growing rampantly and exhausting all sustenance, the Creator of the universe took on Chaos as its body, the void as its vigor, and black holes as its jaw—a combination to create a world-ending coffin, devouring the seas and setting lands aflame, reducing all to ashes!
Later, millions of years ago, the gods waged wars against each other when the same coffin appeared out of nowhere, massacring their ranks and decimating the divine realm.
Since then, it had gone missing, but its name continued to echo throughout the universe, leaving both gods and demons in fear!
Millions of years later, a youth was buried alive and fused with the coffin where he was kept, and he became an undertaker whose name was heard throughout all worlds.
"I'm really bad at saving lives, but I'm quite good with ending them," he said quietly with a cool visage. "I possess the Coffin of the Gods, and I can send anything and anyone to their deaths: humans, worlds… or even the gods themselves!"
Three years after I died, my mother sent me twenty dollars for living expenses.
Three years before that—the first time I ever asked my family for money—she said to me, offhand, "Sometimes I think you're just putting on an act. What's so unsanitary about a thirty-cent boxed meal? And why can't you wear a five-dollar down jacket? Face it, you're just more high-maintenance than your little brother."
Later, when I needed twenty dollars to buy some cheap medicine for my stomachache, she blocked me immediately and cut off all contact—along with every relative we had.
"Don't contact me anymore. I'm clearly not a good mother. I can't afford to give my son a life of luxury."
But for my younger brother, who had just started high school, she spared no expense—renting him a three-bedroom apartment. Even the family dog got its own room.
In the end, on the day my brother became the top scorer in the state, she finally remembered me. She took me off her block list and transferred twenty dollars.
"It's only twenty dollars. Was it really worth giving your family the silent treatment for three whole years?"
What she never knew was this—
On the night my stomach ruptured, three years ago, I had already died. I couldn't afford to go to the hospital. I froze to death in the snow.

Mom dies of rage when she discovers that the bride at my wedding has become Nelly Johnson, Harvey Fisher's business partner.
My wedding turns into Mom's funeral the moment she breathes her last breath. Despite that, Harvey insists that the ceremony continue as planned. He even orders me to put the wedding ring on Nelly's finger.
"Hurry up and put it on! I'll explain everything to you tonight!" he snarls.
I ignore him and leave the hotel with Mom's body in my arms.
The wedding ends with a banging success at 8:00 pm. Nelly updated her social media with a post that's liked by tens of thousands of people. "I've finally married the light of my life! I'd like to thank a certain homewrecker for leaving after remembering her place."
Harvey updates his social media with a similar post. "Those who are unworthy don't deserve to be loved."
I like both their posts in the ice-cold morgue. I comment, "I wish you two a lifetime of happiness."
Then, I head home with Mom's ashes. When I enter the house, I see Harvey holding Nelly tightly while making out with her.
My grandfather died on a covert mission, and authorities approved a grand funeral in his honor.
Concerned about my grief, my fiancé offered to handle the arrangements.
On the day of the funeral, I arrived with my grandfather's ashes, only to find his portrait discarded on the ground, replaced by one of a dog.
Furious, I tried to remove it, but my fiancé's adopted sister stopped me. "Hands off that portrait!"
Suppressing my fury, I countered, "This is my grandfather's funeral. He was a decorated hero."
"So what?" She shrugged, sneering, "Isaac said Luck deserves the grandest send-off. If you've got a problem, take it up with him. Adoring me, he'd cancel your engagement and ditch you in a heartbeat."
I laughed incredulously, calling Isaac's family. "You people begged for this engagement. Since when does your adopted daughter get to call it off?"
