Ricki Lake has been in the public eye since starring in 1988’s Hairspray. She might be best known as host of The Ricki Lake Show. But she’s not here to talk about movies and TV. She’s here to share the compelling story of her late partner, Christian Evans, and how she continued to feel  connected to him after his death – with help from psychic mediums.

Dr. Josh Bullock studies mediumship from a different angle. Through his research, he investigates why “Pub Psychic Nights” are so popular in the UK — what comfort people are seeking, what answers they’re hoping for, and what it means to feel close to someone we’ve lost. His findings suggest that even skeptics can benefit from these communal spaces.
