   Episode 54: DEATH

   Phil’s family recently said goodbye to their dog, Ziggy. Phil and Dylan discuss teaching their kids about death, and loss, with special guest (and fellow Damn Appleton Kid) Charlie Biskupic. He was originally scheduled for a much lighter, more fun topic, but agreed to switch to DEATH because he’s a really good friend. Hear about the most amazing dog in Chicago, see Dylan hedge Mal’s afterlife bets, and keep an eye on Charlie as he usurps Phil’s spot as co-host of the podcast, before soft launching his own. Content warning: Frank discussion of death and dying, description of a dog’s end of life care, cheap shots at the state of New Jersey.
