You’re Going to Die: The Podcast - Podcast Rankings and reviews

this is the only podcast i tune into regularly. to say it's changed my life, and eventually my death, is an understatement. every single conversation has something i need to ponder and digest for myself or for being a better community member. i have met new teachers thru Ned & Nick, i have found comfort in familiar beloved voices and authors, i've even gone on to be a counselor at Experience camps because of this program. i am never alone as long as i am in this community, even if just thru my little ears. Thank you for this offering. I am so deeply grateful.

The title of my review is a direct quote from host Ned Buskirk on a recent episode and if this does not encapsulate the raw authenticity of YG2D then nothing can. Ned and I are the same age and he was pursuing the reality of our collective mortality at a time when nearly all our peers (including me) believed ourselves impervious to this reality. Ned brings poetry, prose, music, spirituality, and a seemingly endless array of existential truths in a way that is simultaneously confrontational and yet gentle as can be. Each episode is a fantastic journey so tune in, buckle up, and get ready to find a slew of additional meaning in your life by confronting its end.

I love the conversations on this podcast! Guests are amazing. I wish Ned spoke less and made more room for his guests to speak.

Still a podcast I keep coming back to.

Hey Ned, don’t reward yourself with the cookie. If you want the cookie, just eat the cookie!
Your podcast was a lifeline in 2023-24 after my mom died, then my sweet dog and then my sister - my only mom, only dog and only sibling- all in less than a year.
I pretty much love all you bring to us, but Abigail B was my first and you all knocked me with the raw love. So much gratitude!
