A one-day event bringing together creators & fans of audio fiction on June 14, 2026 in Boulder, CO.

Kicking the Bucket

Dramatized dark comedy

This show was binge-ready, but now it's not. 😢

It may have switched to an "always on" status, or the creator may have stopped using Season Number and/or Episode Number values. Or they're inconsistent with their tagging, have removed episodes, or made other changes—intentional or not—leading to a less-than-binge-ready listener experience.

Or... it could be our fault. We might have listed the show too early, and episodes are still releasing. Regardless, it's currently in a state that disqualifies it from being listed in our directory, as it's no longer binge-ready.

Yikes! Something odd is happening with this show making the episodes inaccessible or the entire show no longer binge-ready.

Here's the last note we made on Sep 20, 2025, which may nor may not be helpful: Complete Limited Series (additional seasons are not planned, but are possible) •

Show synopsis

This show uses machine-generated voices

Growing old together was the plan. Dying together? That part’s improvised.

Kicking the Bucket is an immersive fiction dramedy about love, aging, and winging it at the end of life.

Dolores and Howard have decided to die with dignity. But they’re not exactly sure how. This darkly funny multicast serial podcast explores elder care, autonomy, caregiving, and all the awkward, tender moments in between.

Created by award-winning artist Andee Kinzy, Kicking the Bucket turns taboo topics into conversation. Each 20-minute episode blends humor and heartbreak, building to a bold, choose-your-own-ending finale.

Content Warning: Themes include Alzheimer’s, cancer, and end-of-life decision-making. Please listen with care.

This podcast was recorded with a full cast: Mimi Strum and Richard Gartner as Dolores & Howard. Also featuring: Kendra L. Franklin, Mical Trejo, Kelli Bland, Chiara McCarty, Ivy Le, Dana Wing Lau, Vivian Glazier, Cynthia Preston, and Shaun Conde. Written, produced, and directed by Andee Kinzy. Produced and Casting by Dana Wing Lau. Dialogue editing, sound design, mixing, and mastering by Marisa Ewing and Melissa Pons of Hemlock Creek Productions. Marketing Manager: Chiara McCarty. Podcast Club Producer: Chloé Carcamo. In-studio recordings captured at Northshore Media Productions in Austin, Texas. Sound Engineer: Kevin Chin.

A coming-of-age, audio fiction comedy with a difference. Our ageing heroine shares senior moments, family relationships and adventures—entertaining and a wee bit provocative.

“Life’s a bitch - and then you can’t die.” One bookseller. One holy incontinent seagull. Death. Father Xmas. Gung-ho Elves. God. Limbo. Black holes. Long suffering aliens. Arsey Vikings. An exploding seaside town … all this, (but not necessarily in that order) in ETERNAL STRIFE!

Lisa believes in big, beautiful, ecstatic love. So, when her adult children gift her a cruise on the Romantic Rhine, she can’t turn it down. Dalton has always been married to the sea. As retirement looms he is forced to think beyond the bow for his life. Could it be love? Could it be Lisa?

Everyone is changing around you—and you worry that you might not catch up. When longtime roommates Cam and Ally search for someone to replace their newly engaged former roommate, they stumble upon the iconoclast and ridiculous Samuel Clemens.
