Stephen was interviewed by You’re Going to Die host, Ned Buskirk.

Here’s what Ned said about the interview:

I’ve listened to it several times already (to make sure it’s clean & dialed for release) but mainly because I LOVE it & each time I listen to it … I get some new medicine, some new wisdom, some new quote to integrate, every time.

I want to acknowledge, Stephen, how much we ended up talking about the “thing that shall not be named,” but my goodness does it matter to me SO much that we did. I respect the possibility that, in retrospect, you regret it, to speak so much on a topic you’ve, until now, held preciously & privately…. I’m so grateful the conversation exists, as a part of your legacy, & mine, & am so honored to share it with the world.

The Podcast is sponsored by You’re Going to Die [YG2D], a 501(c)3 nonprofit bringing diverse communities creatively into the conversation of grief, loss, & our shared mortality, inspiring a more connected & meaningful experience of being alive, w/a free podcast, open mics, concerts, workshops, & prison, hospice, & cancer patient programs.
