In this episode, Dani Foffa interviews Dr. Jeffrey Long and Jody Long, founders of the Near-Death Experience Research Foundation (NDERF), at the IANDS 2025 Conference. Drawing on more than 25 years of research and over 4,000 documented near-death experiences (NDEs), they share compelling scientific evidence for the continuity of consciousness after death.

Dr. Jeffrey Long, a medical doctor and New York Times bestselling author of Evidence of the Afterlife, explains how consistent, cross-cultural NDE accounts challenge materialist assumptions and reduce fear of death. Together, the Longs discuss the concept of being an “afterlifer,” global NDE patterns, spiritual transformation, and practical resources for skeptics interested in evidence-based afterlife research.

In this episode, Dani Foffa sits down with afterlife researcher and podcaster Liz Entin. A self-described logical atheist, Liz began investigating evidence for the afterlife and the paranormal in 2015 after her father passed away. Though she remains skeptical and identifies as an atheist, the research she uncovered—from near-death experiences to mediumship studies and consciousness science—left a profound impact on her. Inspired by the work of Dr. Bruce Greyson, Dr. Melvin Morse, Dr. Jan Holden, the Windbridge Research Center, and IONS, Liz shares how her exploration led to deep personal shifts: reduced fear of death, greater purpose, emotional growth, and a conviction that consciousness may survive physical death.

This conversation delves into grief, spirituality, neuroscience, mediumship protocols, and the possibility of consciousness beyond the brain. Liz reflects on what she’s learned during years of investigation and offers thoughtful advice for those grieving as well as those who remain skeptical.

Liz Entin is the host of the WTF Just Happened?! podcast and leads “Science and Spirituality” private events, where small groups can learn about afterlife research and receive readings from scientifically tested evidential mediums. In this episode, she provides grounded, science-informed insights for skeptics, seekers, and anyone curious about what might await us beyond this life.

In this episode, Dani Foffa sits down with IANDS President Dr. Jan Holden to explore some of the most compelling questions in near-death experience (NDE) research. Dr. Holden shares groundbreaking insights into veridical perception, lucid awareness during cardiac arrest, and what current science suggests about consciousness operating beyond the brain.

Together, they dive into how NDE research connects with after-death communication, shared-death experiences, and near-death-like experiences that occur without clinical death. Dr. Holden discusses why these cases point toward consciousness as fundamental and possibly eternal, and how we may be witnessing a global shift from a purely material worldview to a more spiritual and interconnected understanding of reality.

She also offers practical guidance for therapists, clinicians, and healthcare providers who support experiencers, shares her own ketamine-assisted transformative experience, and reflects on how decades of studying NDEs have shaped her views on life, death, and the deeper nature of existence.

From stories of heaven-like peace to unusual alternate realities, Alan uncovers a hidden world that challenges everything science thinks it knows about the mind, memory, and the soul. Alan also shares how his research transformed his view of death — especially after the loss of his daughter — and why he now knows that we don’t die. He reflects on the parallels between comas and NDEs, the medical challenges of inducing prolonged comas, and the aftereffects and insights he has gained through his research, so be sure to watch until the end!

Alan Pearce is a broadcaster and former BBC correspondent who has worked with publications such as Time Magazine and The Sunday Times.
