Episode 3: Death Is the Great Equalizer

How would you find people to interview with six months or less to live? Join me in this episode as I reflect on my process and explore the challenges of trying to find people to interview. I also have a conversation with my friend and old coworker, Lisa Stewart, about her work in hospice and her own personal experience of her mother dying.

Episode 2: Why This?

Let’s do a thought experiment: Imagine you are in a room with someone who is dying. What would you want to ask? In this episode, I explore some of the questions I would want to ask, and I also interview my parents in an attempt to understand why I’m so curious about death and dying. Before they give me an answer, they turn the question around on me.

Episode 1: Introduction

In this introductory episode, my son gives voice to his natural curiosity about death, and I share my own motivation for starting this podcast.

6 Months or Less will explore the thoughts and feelings of people who are nearing the end of their life. It hopes to shed light on a natural process that is often couched in euphemisms and medical jargon, that is hidden from view in hospital corridors, or is simply not discussed. And yet death is the one thing that we will all go through.
