Episode notes

i've been saving this episode to replay for about five years. The guest has changed my life in so many ways, which is why we're doing that follow up minnie sowed with her. This was the sixth episode ever published back at 20 17, when i was editing it myself and using six dollar mite cables. And i've learned some lessons. So from the moment i heard that this elogy existed, i knew i wanted to run as far away from it as humanly possible. That then made it obvious that i should dive into it sooner rather than later. It's time, it's time to rehear it.

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.
