Comedian Will Green sits down with friends, family, and anyone else who is willing to look back fondly on the life of someone dear to them who has passed away. As a way to memorialize this person, they delve into who they were, what they meant to others, and what we can learn from their life and death.
Tim Finkel has the unfortunate honor of being the first two-time guest in We Lost a Good One history.
On October 19th, 2023, Ryder was diagnosed with Diffused Intrinsic Pontine Glioma, an aggressive form of cancer in his brain stem that almost exclusively takes place in children, causing an inevitable loss of motor function and leading to eventual death. His initial prognosis was 8-12 months. He proved this wrong and beat his odds by over a year.
Tim shares how Ryder strove to make every day he was given as radical as possible. And, how that mindset helped his family savor every moment and with the help of friends, family, and their community, find every last drop of joy, amidst devastating circumstances.
