    Episode 6: American Death Narrative

    The question for today is this: Are we in the midst of an American attitude adjustment when it comes to living and dying? It’s no secret that our attitude can either help us or work against us. Especially when it comes to Thanatology and attitudes about death, our American death narrative makes a great deal of difference in everything we do. I can see it in American culture. I can see it on TV. I can hear it on the radio. I can see it in our communities and in the decisions people make.

    Episode 5: Scott Porter

    In this episode, we sit down with Scott Porter for a thoughtful conversation about how personal beliefs shape the way people understand loss, grief, and the unknown. Together, we explore how faith traditions, life experiences, and individual worldviews can influence a person’s openness to difficult conversations and emotional healing. Scott also shares his perspective on the role faith can play in making meaning after loss, and how belief systems often provide a framework for hope, resilience, and connection during life’s hardest transitions. The discussion also turns toward the fascinating intersection of belief and mystery, as we examine how people interpret supernatural or paranormal experiences through the lens of their own values and experiences. This episode invites listeners to consider how curiosity, respect, and empathy can help us better understand perspectives that may differ from our own — especially when conversations touch on grief, spirituality, and the unexplained.
