About Dead on Earth
Kerrith McDowell and Sarah Lipscomb are friends and colleagues who met while working as nurse practitioners in hospice and palliative care. While having to navigate life in the wake of catastrophic loss, they have seen how hard truths and moments of levity that accompany grief are often suffocated by polite platitudes that repel connection. Dead on Earth is a candid interview podcast that explores grief, loss and hope through the lived experiences of everyday people. No celebrities or experts, just vulnerable humans sharing their stories and exposing the real mess and magic of loss.
