    Episode 6: Widow’s Fire, Guilt & The Great Dildo of 2023

    Nobody warns you about this part of grief. The moment when, in the middle of funeral paperwork and an existential spiral, your body suddenly decides: Hey… it’s been a while. Cue full-blown panic, Catholic guilt (despite not being Catholic), and an existential crisis about whether or not the dead can see your browser history. In this hilariously raw and brutally honest episode, Danny Painter talks about Widow’s Fire—the sudden, unexpected, and often shame-inducing return of desire after loss. She dives into the science behind sex and grief, the guilt spiral that follows, and of course, The Great Dildo of 2023—a cautionary tale about why you should never use high heel inches as a measurement system. From accidental shopping disasters to the terrifying world of post-widow dating, this episode is equal parts comedy, therapy, and necessary conversation about an aspect of grief no one talks about—but everyone needs to hear. If you’ve ever felt guilty for being human after loss, this one’s for you. Follow Danny @dannypainter for more unfiltered stories and behind-the-scenes chaos. Title music by the incredible GRAAFF.

    Episode 5: What Happens When We Die? A Theological Deep Dive with Dr. Tristan Kapp

    Across cultures, religions, and spiritual traditions, one question has remained at the heart of human existence: What happens when we die? In this thought-provoking episode, Danny Painter sits down with Dr. Tristan Kapp—better known as The Friendly Satanist—to explore the afterlife through the lens of theology, esotericism, and post-theistic spirituality.

Together, we discuss how different cultures and belief systems define the journey beyond life, from notions of heaven and reincarnation to ancestral connections and spiritual evolution.
