In this episode:

Intro :00

Patrick recently discovered the work of Hadley Vlahos (@NurseHadley on TikTok and other social media) and her book, The In-Between: Unforgettable Encounters During Life’s Final Moments. After sharing an image of Nurse Hadley’s book, as well as an essay from Insider.com titled, “I've studied more than 5,000 near death experiences. My research has convinced me without a doubt that there's life after death”, listeners had lots to say and were very interested in the topic! Patrick took the hint and immediately booked Nurse Hadley for an interview, which is coming next week! :48
