Episode 84. Three years later

This week we talk about the bizarre feeling of thinking maybe your loved one faked it all along.

Episode 83. But maybe they aren't *really* dead

It's an actual play podcast! Sort of. We record in the same room for the first time in over 80 episodes. We are joined by Tara's partner Ben to play and review Hello, a game designed to start conversations about the end of life. We discuss everything from who we'd turn to in a health crisis to what we want our funerals to be like. Even as people who often talk about death all the time we were surprised how much the questions made us think.    If you'd like to get in touch with the show follow us on Twitter @PrattlePod, like us on facebook at facebook.com/prattlepod or e-mail us at deathprattle@gmail.com Visit our webpage at www.prattlepod.com Our music is courtesy of Matthew Pryce.

Episode 82. Talking about death (but in the same room this time!)

Talcott is off this week so we have a short episode where Tara talks about an existential question someone asked her recently. 

Episode 81. “But what happens if your partner dies?!”

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.
