About this episode

David Ferrugio discusses his experiences and insights from interviewing over 1,000 people about death and near-death experiences.

On this episode of the Acid For Squares podcast, hosts Cody Blue and Tanya Dahl sit down with David Ferrugio, host of the hit podcast DEAD TALKS, for a powerful conversation about dying, grief, near-death experiences, and life after death. After losing his father in the attacks on the World Trade Center on September 11 at just 12 years old, David grew up carrying a kind of loss that changes everything. In time, that experience helped shape the mission behind DEAD Talks, a podcast dedicated to exploring death as a universal human experience and creating space for honest conversations about loss, meaning, and what might exist beyond this life. David has interviewed more than 1,000 guests, including near-death experiencers, religious leaders, mediums, scientists, celebrities, and everyday people with profound stories of grief and transformation. On this episode of Acid For Squares, he shares what he learned after years of interviewing people about death and shares the profound story of recently witnessing his mother have her very own near-death experience. This is a deep conversation about grief, the afterlife, NDE stories, and how facing death can transform the way we live. GET…
