June 23, 2020 Once I've Gone
Ian’s life was dramatically changed when both his sister aged 28 and his mother aged 57 passed away in the space of two years. Neither his sister or mother had spoken with the family about what they would like to happen in the event of their deaths, so the family was left asking questions during a time when they were struggling with the grief of losing a loved one.

This is what led Ian to found Once I’ve Gone, an industry leading platform that makes it easy for you to record details of your important personal, legal and financial information that your family will need.

Join me as I talk to Ian about his story and about this wonderful platform we should all be signing up for to make not only our lives easier, but also the lives of those we leave behind.

June 02, 2020 My Dance with Death: Howard Storm
On June of 1985 while dying in a hospital in Paris, Howard Storm had a near-death experience. On this episode, he tells us about his 'descent into death' - how he was tormented by beings in hell, saved and taken to heaven after having called out to Jesus, given a life review and had all of his questions answered by God. Despite having been an atheist his entire life, his NDE changed his perspective and he is now a Christian pastor. Join me as Howard tells us about his fascinating journey and all the wisdom gained in heaven.

May 05, 2020 My Dance with Death: David Ditchfield
Welcome to the first episode of My Dance with Death series!

On this episode, I talk to David Ditchfield, who is a near-death experience (NDE)-inspired artist, composer, and author. In 2006, he was dragged under a speeding train in a freak accident. As the surgeons fought to save him, he had a profound NDE. When he woke up in the hospital, he had acquired astonishing new abilities. He found he could paint dramatic paintings of what he had seen in the Afterlife, far beyond any artistic ability he had before. He then discovered he could compose classical music, having never received any training. To this day, he cannot read nor write a single note of musical notation, and yet his debut NDE-inspired symphony, The Divine Light, was premiered at a sell-out orchestral concert to a standing ovation. He has since composed further classical works which have also been premiered at sell-out concerts and completed over 40 paintings.

Join me as David recounts his near-death experience and the lessons learned from it.
