Episode notes

"i want to live my life with a purple mohawk, and i'm not going to worry about what anyone wants me toto," she says. "I feel like death is salt. Death is the salt of life." She was assaulted several years ago but still deals with it all these years later. 'The worst thing in life is to be alone'

As I round out my bereavement leave following your beloved Grandpod’s passing, we’re serving up a special updated Encore of an episode and an Ologist who changed my life. Hoooo boy. We get all up in death and dying's business and to my shock, it's not a bummer. Confront and perhaps OVERCOME existential anxiety as we discuss not only the science of death but the nature and goddang beauty of life. Everything from burial methods, the latest in eco funerals, what a funeral director hates most, how gnomes die, and how to regret less. Meet your new favorite thanatologist and oddly, get the guts to be the you you want to be. Life changing, this one.
