Death Prattle is an often off topic, frequently silly, and sometimes serious conversation about the loss of a loved one and the mourning process. Hosts Tara and Talcott discuss their own experiences with grief, death-related items in the news, and invite guests to lend their perspectives. It's a not-so-serious talk about a very serious topic.

Customer Reviews
Lovely!!
A necessary topic for discussion! It’s weird to say that I love this kind of topic, but I think it’s a thing that needs to be normalized. Thanks for sharing your hearts & humor with us, Tara & Talcott.
The best
I binged this from the very beginning and love it entirely. Even without the awesome Trek references this would be one of my favorite things to listen to.
Keeping it light with a heavy subject
Today I was feeling kind of down, and I saw that there was a new episode of Death Prattle, and I thought, "Oh, great! This'll cheer me up!" AND IT TOTALLY DID! Something about the affectionate friendship between the hosts, the geekery, and the strange jokes about the hosts' grieving, always improves my day. Thanks, Talcott and Dr. Dunderdale!
