  • Such a fun podcast!

    First of all, the intro music is great! Then, Rob has one of those voices that you could listen to for hours. He’s so good at facilitating conversation, and he asks really interesting questions. All of the interviews I’ve listened to so far have been so unique… where does he find such interesting people?! My favorite is the spiritual concierge, definitely give that episode a listen. I’m not even much of a podcast person, but I definitely like Obsessed With Death.

  • Love it!

    My favorite part is how they managed to work the Sopranos into the conversation, and the conversation definitely gets you thinking! It’s great listen for 7 in the morning lol. It’s great honestly! Can’t wait for more episodes! Leaves you with a craving for strawberries oddly.

Words Found After Death
Q: Do you remember the moment you realize that you were going to die one day?
I first realized death is inevitable in the fourth grade at a classmate's mother's funeral, where I reflected on my own mortality and the inevitability of grief.
Words Found After Death
Q: What do you consider your relationship with death like right now?
My relationship with death is increasingly peaceful and a relief as I've grown older, especially after my dad's passing.
Tips From Dead People
Q: Do you feel like the success of this has sort of helped you in other parts of your life, or has it motivated you to try new other things?
Definitely, it has given me the confidence to try new things like adult tap dancing and acting as a tour guide at a cemetery.
Tips From Dead People
Q: Do you have a moment, do you have a memory? Is there anything that sticks out where you remember the moment you realized that you were going to die one day?
I don't remember that moment, but when you start reading obituaries as a kid, you implicitly acknowledge your own death.
FREAKBAiT
Q: Have you ever thought about scoring or writing music for your own funeral?
That would be fun; you could guide everyone's emotional journey through the day. I've never thought of that before this conversation, but it sounds like a great idea.
