In this episode of The Bantercast, hosts Ben Cohen and Michael Parker discuss death, dying and the afterlife. Ben recently lost his grandmother and a good friend, so has been dealing with the after effects of death. Why is it we have such a hard time with death in the West? What do we gain by confronting death and dying, and what should we think about the afterlife? This episode isn't depressing, but rather a how-to guide on how to think about something that is going to happen to all of us.
