  • John Edward on Mediumship, Grief, and Connecting With Loved Ones After Death

    In this episode of DEAD Talks, I sit down with world-renowned psychic medium John Edward for an honest conversation about grief, mediumship, and what it really means to stay connected to the people we’ve lost.

    We explore how mediumship actually works, the misconceptions surrounding psychics, and why John believes most people don’t need a reading to feel connected to their loved ones.

    John also shares:

    • His experience working with skeptics and law enforcement
    • How to tell the difference between real and fake mediums
    • Why grief has no timeline
    • The role of signs, patterns, and validation
    • The truth about connection after death 

    This is a grounded, thoughtful conversation about loss, healing, and understanding what may exist beyond what we can see.

  • How Do You Grieve Someone You Can't Remember? Simon Robert French (#252)

    How do you grieve someone you don’t even remember?

    Musician Simon Robert French lost his father when he was just two years old — too young to form real memories. Growing up, he was surrounded by stories, photos, and home videos of a man who shaped his life, yet someone he never truly got the chance to know.

    In this episode of DEAD Talks, Simon joins David Ferrugio to explore the complicated reality of grieving a parent you can’t remember. They discuss childhood loss, identity, mental health, and how music became Simon’s way of processing a grief that had quietly shaped his life for years.

    This conversation explores how grief doesn’t only come from the memories we have — sometimes it comes from the memories we never had the chance to make.

  • From Losing My Father to Becoming One with Bryce Savoy (#251)

    Bryce Savoy lost his father unexpectedly on New Year’s Day. Ten months later, he became a father himself.

    In this episode of DEAD Talks, we explore grief, masculinity, faith, and transformation. Bryce shares what it was like walking into the ICU, watching his father’s health decline suddenly, and starting a new year in shock.

    Months later, he and his partner received devastating news at their 20-week ultrasound — including a rare one-in-a-million condition affecting their unborn son.

    We discuss:

    • Losing a parent unexpectedly

    • Grieving as a man

    • Black men and emotional suppression

    • Faith during crisis

    • Becoming a father after loss

    • Facing fear and the illusion of control

    • Growing through grief

    • This is a conversation about death, resilience, and stepping into adulthood through pain.

    • Detective Scott Naso: The Signs He Missed (#250)

      Detective Scott Naso has spent nearly two decades solving complex cases. But the most devastating and confusing chapter of his life unfolded inside his own home.

      After his wife began experiencing subtle but troubling symptoms, what initially appeared manageable escalated into a medical emergency. An MRI revealed a large brain tumor requiring immediate intervention. Within days, everything changed.

      In this deeply personal conversation, Scott Naso walks through the timeline leading up to that discovery, the warning signs he now reexamines, and the emotional aftermath of losing his wife while raising their young daughter. As a trained investigator, he finds himself grappling with the same question many listeners will ask: How did this happen?

      Scott also speaks about grief, boundaries, fatherhood, and the ongoing legal proceedings connected to these events. He shares his perspective as someone trying to honor his wife’s memory while protecting his child’s future.

      This episode explores loss, resilience, and what it means when the person trained to find answers is left searching for them himself.

      Legal Disclaimer:
      This episode includes personal experiences and perspectives related to matters that are currently subject to ongoing legal proceedings. The statements shared reflect the guest’s individual account and opinions. No conclusions regarding legal responsibility or fault are asserted or implied. All legal matters remain unresolved at the time of publication.
