Our avoidance and aversion to death have been commonplace in modern society.  When we know our ultimate inevitability, why don't we focus on ways to live our best lives so that we can depart in true peace?  In recent years, Death Doulas have emerged, acting as a guiding hand for the family, friends, and the soon-to-be deceased.  Nicole Hoover, aka Death Doula Nicole, joins the show for a discussion on legacy work, supporting loved ones, and embracing life's end.  From Death Cafes to corporate benefits, much more can be done to change the way we view and experience death and loss.

Going There: Taboo Topics Are Back on the Table

Our hosts Matt, LeJon and Jo talk to guests about all the issues that keep us divided: politics, religion, sex, money, race, and so on. The topics you can't bring up at a dinner party are dropped back on the table.

Interview with the Death Doula

Less than 1 week before the Ohio Primary election of 2026, Bryan Hambley, a leukemia doctor and candidate for Secretary of State, sits at the Going There table to share his personal, professional and social viewpoints.  The focus of his campaign and political aspirations rests on the idea of fair elections and dismantling the gerrymandered maps.  What can a doctor bring to the table?  Tune in to learn more about this political candidate who stands alone at the line of refusing any corporate PAC money.  Although he would argue he isn't lonely because his values, morals and integrity are on his side.

Bryan Hambley: The Impression That I Get

Only weeks before the Ohio Primary election of 2026, Allison Russo, Ohio State Representative and Secretary of State candidate, joins the show for a somewhat tongue-in-cheek chat, a la Between Two Ferns.  Beyond the deadpan humor and left-field questions from Matt, we dig into the serious components of what the Secretary of State does and why that role is so important with keeping elections fair and safe.  In a year when the President is threatening to nationalize the election, to dispatch ICE to polling locations and block many groups from voting, this conversation is dire.

Allison Russo: Between Two Terms

Modern day life is pretty tough.  For those of us who grew up before 9/11, before social media, and before the era of Trump, we're pretty nostalgic about yesteryear.  Every generation looks back fondly over the good ol' days, but there seems to be something extra special about childhood in the 80s and 90s.  A big part of what made it special was the entertainment and pop culture.  We had a chance to sit down with the man who voiced many of those memories for us.  Townsend Coleman was the voice of Michaelangelo from the original "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" cartoon; the voice of "The Tick," Must-See-TV NBC, "The Tonight Show" with Jay Leno, and many, many, many more.  He shares his gratitude for the experiences and the fans.  With the rise of popularity in Comic Conventions and the like, he finally gets to reap the rewards by getting to engage and chat with all the fans whose lives he touched.  It's totally tubular!  Cowabunga!!!
