Hanging coffins: China’s mysterious sky graveyards
In caves across China, haphazardly-made, wooden coffins are suspended high against rock, holding bones, clothes, and ceramics that could date back hundreds of years. An explorer tries to figure out how they got there, and how to preserve them from looters. | CNN Travel

Name: Mike Barish, Senior Editor (not to be confused with Mike Barash, Partner—we have two!)
My to-do list: Everything related to content, from blog posts to social copy to the occasional bot script or voiceovers for videos.
Side hustle: Smoking meats. It’s inherently social. You need a lot of people to eat all of that.
The biggest smoke project I’ve ever done: 25+ pounds of meat: a huge brisket, a whole pork shoulder, and several sausages.
Meat-smoking pet peeve: Everything. Will. Smell. Like. Smoke.
Perfect music for a BBQ: Yacht rock. BBQ is about keeping things low and slow, so just let “Sailing” by Christopher Cross wash over you.
