Episode 30: Reverse Engineering the Afterlife

About this episode

The episode features a conversation with Brendan D. Murphy about his book on the afterlife and consciousness.

Today’s fascinating conversation is with my friend Brendan Murphy in which we discuss the topics in his new book, Reverse Engineering the Afterlife. Brendan D.
