Guest: John Kilroy // John sits down with his son for a wonderful, unfettered, and all-encompassing chat inspired by his recent essay, “The Value of Death.” As he battles cancer for the third time, Jake’s writer-poet father discusses the importance and impact of a single sentence — “I'd rather die and know what counts” — as well as Profound Fun, the Perfect Taco, the afterlife, the nature of reality, and the rewards of craft beer. He also shares two poems inspired by his journey into illness.
