On today’s special Halloween episode of Tell Me About Your Father, Matt sits down for a real psychic reading with medium Victoria Laurie who reaches into the primordial ether to get in touch with his deceased father, Ross. Featuring unedited excerpts from the session, the episode is a moving, funny, and unexpectedly pragmatic conversation between Victoria, Matt, and what purport to be the spirits of his father and late maternal grandmother. Matt and Victoria touch on the survival of consciousness after death, what the other side might be like, and, in particular, what insights his father - who died suddenly in 1982, at 35, while running in a marathon - has to impart to his eldest son.  Then, in the second half of the episode, following the session, Erin and Matt talk with Victoria, who is also the co-host of the Psychic Eye Mysteries True Crime Podcast and New York Times Bestselling author of the Psychic Eye Mysteries novel series, about what it’s like to be a psychic who can commune with the dead, how anyone can learn to connect with deceased relatives, and how being a medium impacts her understanding of life and death.
