On January 18, 1989, Don Piper was on his way home from a conference in Texas when a semi-trailer truck struck his Ford Escort while crossing a bridge. A true story of death and life where he was pronounced dead at the scene, and for the next 90 minutes Don had a near-death experience where he tells us where he went and what he experienced. 
 
Don Piper is featured in the movie ⁠After Death⁠ , released in theaters in 2023. It is a fascinating film covering several near-death experience stories and studies of NDE's. 
 
DEAD Talks with David Ferrugio engages death a little bit differently. Each new guest shares their experience with grieving or perspective on death in a way that shatters the “don’t talk about death” taboo. Grief doesn't end; it evolves. Having lost his father on September 11th when he was 12, he learned the importance of discussion and sharing other people's stories. DEAD Talks Podcast hopes to make it a little easier to talk about grief, loss, death, mourning, trauma, or whatever it may be. You may cry, but you also may laugh.
