After cleaning headstones in cemeteries for fun for a few years, Katie DeRaddo started A Grave Attraction to share the stories of the dead through social media, honoring their lives and ensuring they are not forgotten. In this conversation with host Emily Hessney Lynch, we discuss proper techniques and ethics for cleaning headstones, some of Katie’s favorite cemeteries in Rochester, Buffalo, and beyond, and how she pieces together people’s stories using printed records from centuries ago.
In the second half of the show, we dive into Katie’s experiences as a content creator, from the highs of getting started on YouTube with a video that reached 13 million views to lows like dealing with conflict in the comments section, people taking things out of context, fighting with the algorithm, and the painful trap of comparing ourselves to others on social media—something we can all relate to!
