Phil NewbyWhen is the right time to die?
Two friends try to answer that question. For one it’s theoretical, and for the other it’s all too real.
In this podcast, we follow Phil’s journey living with an incurable and life-ending illness, and unpack some of the key debates around assisted dying – with some help from experts and campaigners.

- Thought provoking, emotional and funny

Thanks Phil and Nyree

I have just listened to the last episode of Kill Phill as I cycled home. What a great last episode and I loved the final thoughts…🤣

Phil is an eloquent guest and Nyree asks interesting questions which makes this podcast a brilliant listen. Whilst some of the subjects discussed could seem depressing these friends are lighthearted yet tender in their discussions and Phil is both moving and funny. A must listen to everyone who wants the debate on assisted dying out in the open.

Phil’s story is heartbreaking but his campaign to change the law on assisted dying is so important. It’s a topic that’s all to easy to shy away from until we are confronted with it, but the chances are we all will at some point in one form or another. The podcast unpeels the layers of the debate around a person’s right to choose a dignified death when quality of life is irreversibly diminished - and that debate is rooted not in some imagined hypothetical, but in the very real existence of Phil’s... more
Apple Podcasts5JMBlahUnited Kingdom4 years ago - Nice and educational!
I really did enjoy this podcast for the simple and direct manner it is done. The situation is well explained with no over dramatic feel or sense of pity. I was drawn into it with ease and comfort. And I have learned a lot from it. I also enjoy the humorous bits.
