The Unmarked Graveyard

From Radio Diaries, an eight-episode podcast series: The Unmarked Graveyard: Stories from Hart Island.

New York City’s Hart Island is what’s typically called a potter’s field. Seven of the eight podcast episodes tell the stories of people buried there. One episode tells the story of an artist dedicated to documenting the island’s dead. Having listened to six episodes so far, I recommend this podcast with enthusiasm.
