  • Death Positivity At Its Finest

    This show is not only extremely interesting but also so, so needed in this space. The more conversations about mortality, the less of a taboo topic death will become! The hosts do a great job at welcoming in all topics of mortality while observing space for people who might be sensitive to these types of topics. Would recommend to anyone considering their own mortality or looking to learn more about death and death practices.

  • Needful Insight and Conversation

    This podcast and all of the Order of the Good Death's work is sorely needed in our death avoidant society. Episodes are well-paced and presented, and are extremely informative. Solid recommend.
