    She is deeply unfunny, and also a serial liar. Who would ever suffer through this asinine podcast?

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

What Happens When We Die | Hospice Nurse Julie McFadden
Q: What happens when a loved one dies in your home? What do I do?
Call hospice; they will come and declare your loved one dead, and then make arrangements with the mortuary for pickup.
What Happens When We Die | Hospice Nurse Julie McFadden
Q: How do I keep my mother-in-law from worrying about passing over?
Allow her to openly talk about her fears and worries. Don't try to soothe her in a way that dismisses her feelings; instead, validate her experience and share that many people feel afraid as they approach death.
How To Heal After Loss | Sarah Barthel (Phantogram)
Q: What advice do you give to aspiring musicians?
Make sure you're doing it for the right reasons; if you don't you'll never survive. Do it for your creation, your art, and your own purpose.
How To Heal After Loss | Sarah Barthel (Phantogram)
Q: What's your favorite song that helps you feel better for self-care?
The most healing song is 'Answer.' It connects and feels like a reset button, allowing me to release everything.
How To Heal After Loss | Sarah Barthel (Phantogram)
Q: What do you feel about the fact that your father isn't with us and didn't necessarily experience your success?
I didn't really know what it felt like to have a proud dad, so I don't really miss that, but I wish he could have witnessed something or seen something on this earth.
