Well done Jason and to your Podcast team.
Every episode is powerful, compassionate, gentle, engaging, heart warming and joyful (& emotional too) to listen to.

These powerful and personal accounts not only entertain you with real human humour, they also give really helpful advice for anyone facing bereavement or loss - and help those of us who are lucky enough to still have our parents / children / loved ones - prepare for inevitable. I've been to a Marie Curie Hospice and they are wonderful warm p... more

A compassionate, end-of-life focused show where a bereavement expert hosts long-form conversations with high-profile guests and everyday people about grief, death, and planning for end-of-life. Episodes blend intimate personal stories with practical guidance on coping, communicating, and arranging practical matters like wills and hospice care. The format tends to center vulnerability, opening up about taboos, and finding meaning through memory, rituals, and community support. A standout aspect is the range of guests—from actors and authors to athletes and public figures—who share candid, healing perspectives that normalize difficult conversations and offer actionable takeaways for listeners and their networks.
