Hour 4: Contemplating Death and Near-Death Experiences | 11-25-25
Description
Lionel and callers engage in a sprawling discussion about death, dying, and near-death experiences (NDEs). The host expresses a personal fascination with death and a strong aversion to traditional cemeteries and funerals. Several callers contribute with intensely personal stories, including one man who suffered a near-fatal internal injury from a Murphy bed accident and another who recounted a potentially fatal, life-altering shooting during a hunting trip and his subsequent period of agonizing pain and suicidal thoughts. The conversation also touches on themes of randomness versus intervention in survival and the unique trauma experienced by subway and train operators following incidents of suicide on the tracks, concluding with a crucial public service announcement for the 988 National Suicide and Crisis Lifeline.
