DEAD Talks

Why would a loved one choose not to come through during a reading?

In this conversation, psychic medium Matt Fraser explains how mediumship truly works, why spirits sometimes withhold information, and what happens after death.

We explore:

• Why some souls refuse to communicate
• Signs from loved ones in spirit
• Free will vs destiny
• Do we choose when we die?
• Soulmates and spiritual alignment
• How grief can cloud memory
• Why “letting go” doesn’t mean letting go

Whether you’re skeptical or spiritual, this conversation will make you think.

Grief doesn’t follow a timeline.

Comedian Nacya Marreiro talks about losing her father to cancer, how quickly everything changed, and what it feels like to grieve before you’ve even processed the loss.

David A. Williamson had a near-death experience during cardiac arrest that didn’t just change his beliefs — it ended the person he used to be.

After watching his body die from outside the hospital room, he returned without the anger, fear, and rigid identity that once controlled his life.

We explore ego death, consciousness, attention, and how a single experience can permanently alter how you relate to the world — and to other people.

This conversation isn’t about death itself.
It’s about what survives when identity falls away.

Intuition isn’t magic — and it isn’t reserved for a few people.

In this episode of DEAD Talks, we explore how intuition and awareness actually work, using mediumship as a lens to understand how humans perceive information beyond logic and overthinking.

This conversation breaks down:

Rather than asking you to believe anything, this episode focuses on how perception works — and how learning to trust awareness can change how you move through grief, uncertainty, and life.

This is a grounded conversation about mediumship, intuition, and human consciousness — without fear, hierarchy, or false certainty.

Why does modern society avoid death—and what is it costing us?

In this episode of DEAD Talks, host David Ferrugio speaks with Paul Koudounaris, renowned art historian and author of Memento Mori, about how different cultures around the world honor the dead, why the West struggles with grief, and why pet loss is one of the most misunderstood forms of mourning.

From mummy rituals and skull festivals to Buddhist animal funerals, Paul shares how ritual—not avoidance—helps people heal. This conversation reframes death as connection, not fear.

A must-listen for anyone navigating grief, loss, or curiosity about death.
