Interesting guests. I see people complaining but it sounds like liberal whining. Also complaining about cursing? Go listen to some church podcast then grandma. This guy gets odd people to share their unique views and it’s entertaining.
…is if host didn’t cuss so much.
I have been listening to David’s podcast for about a year. As a hospice RN, I am often close to those that are dying and their loved ones. Talking more openly about death and dying is so important to normalize it. Thanks for the work you do, David.
I love this podcast. The variety of guests and topics all related to death in some way is really interesting. Some episodes I couldn’t get out of my mind for days and days and I had to share them with my friends. I love the way it feels like you’re right there-a part of the conversation rather than listening to a scripted account. Thanks to all that makes this happen!
I love this podcast. David is a grounded, real host who creates a space that feels safe- something that’s hard to come by when your world has been turned upside down by loss. His curiosity, compassion, and willingness to go deep help you face the hard parts of grief while still celebrating all the good that remains. As someone who lost my dad recently, this podcast has been a lifeline. Big love to David.
