Episode notes

Cole: I can be in an immediate, deep, intense conversation involving tears with somebody i just met. And it is because of my work in death and dying. She says she was able to emmeiately talk to this individual for well over 30 minutes. "There's so few people in the world that are equipped or comfortable to be present for that"

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.
