    In this light-hearted, curiosity driven episode, we’re pulling back the curtain on one of life’s most mysterious topics: death. Why do we fear it? How do different cultures celebrate it? And what do scientists and philosophers still wonder about the great unknown?

    From the ancient Egyptian afterlife to the "immortal", we explore everything from spooky to sweet. Learn about traditions like the Japanese Obon Festival, while uncovering fascinating facts like the biology of the thanatomicrobiome (your body’s hidden post-mortem clock!).

    Let's dive into perspectives that can comfort and inspire—whether you see death as a spiritual transition, a natural part of life’s cycle, or an existential call to live fully. This episode promises a warm, curious, and even playful exploration of death’s role in life. Tune in and celebrate the mystery!
