🎙️ Dead Man Talking: Episode Milestone & Gratitude 🎙️

Yesterday I had the joy of sitting down with my friend Jason Janz to record a short but meaningful 14-minute episode of Dead Man Talking. We began by celebrating a milestone I honestly wasn’t sure we’d ever see: twelve episodes. When we started, we didn’t know if this would last past three or four. To be here now is nothing short of grace.

Along the way, so many of you have spoken words of encouragement, shared constructive feedback, and cheered us forward. Every note, every prayer, every message of “keep going” has mattered more than you know. Thank you. 🙏

We also paused to acknowledge our donors—those who have carried not just the podcast, but me personally, through this valley. Your generosity has supported my medical needs, and it has allowed Dead Man Talking to exist at all. From the depths of my heart: thank you.

As Jason and I looked ahead, we talked about where the podcast is going. More and more, we want to highlight the stories of other sufferers—other people in the valley—so that together we can shine a light on hope in the midst of darkness. That’s the heartbeat moving forward.

And in that spirit, our biggest patrons have asked us to open the door for one last financial push toward my GoFundMe, even as the podcast begins shifting its fundraising focus to bless others we highlight in future episodes. Here’s a link to the GoFundMe: https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-bob-roberts-cancer-journey

I can’t say it enough: I am grateful. Grateful for life, grateful for friends who sit in the valley with me, and grateful for you—for every prayer, every word, every gift, and every moment you’ve carried me further than I could have gone on my own.
