Podcast Overview

Welcome to On Death and Smiling, a podcast that explores the complex journey of grief, loss, and healing. I'm Dylan, and after losing my mother at 16 and my brother at 25, I've spent over 15 years sloppily navigating the ups and downs of grief. In this podcast, we dive into candid, thoughtful conversations about death and mourning—unpacking the emotions we all experience when faced with loss. My personal experiences with grief and a curiosity for the macabre serve as the foundation for open discussions with friends, family, and experts. Together, we'll explore the emotional highs and lows, share insights, and maybe even find some silly gags along the way. Whether you're looking for comfort, community, or a new perspective on grief, join us as we look death in the face with a smile on ours. Let's cry, scream, and laugh together. – Dylan

Sammi R. and Her Father Figure

Yagazoozy, gang! Today we welcome Sammi into the ODAS club. After her father figure's death back in March of this year, Sammi recounts stories of her dad and the affectionate gibberish that they would speak with another, the hurdles she had to overcome in order to give herself the proper space to grieve, and the imposter syndrome she's been feeling since entering the wonderful world of bereavement. Thanks again to Sammi for joining me in my studio in the clouds and for being bold enough to join me on our first interview of season 2. 'Til next time!
