A funeral director who writes pop songs sits down every Tuesday night and says the things most people are afraid to feel. Death, fatherhood, burnout, songwriting, walking away from the career that defined you, and figuring out what comes after. The Mortals is a live conversation hosted by Nathan Morris — no script, no guests most weeks, just one man in a room being honest about what it means to be alive. New episodes every Wednesday.
