Respectful and thought provoking

Mike is a skilled host who asks thought provoking questions about deep topics! I especially appreciate how he respects his guests view point whether or not it aligns with his. We need more of this in our polarized “us vs. them” world. I highly recommend this podcast!

Wonderful & Enlightening Conversations

I love this podcast and can’t recommend it enough. Whether you're drawn to philosophical discussions or simply curious about the human condition, "Coffin Talk" offers a unique and captivating listening experience. Mike skillfully guides conversations, making it an interesting and fun listening experience. The podcast succeeds in creating a space for open and honest discussions about a topic often considered taboo. The exploration of various cultural attitudes towards death adds a valuable layer of depth, making "Coffin Talk" not just informative but also culturally enriching.
