Everyone Deserves A Good Death
The hosts explore the concept of a "good death" and how modern hospice care aims to provide comfort, dignity, and holistic support to people who are terminally ill. They trace the history of hospice from its modern origins with Cicely Saunders and Florence Wald through the creation of the Medicare hospice benefit, explain how hospice works today, and discuss its strengths and structural problems, including caregiver burdens and for‑profit abuses. The episode closes with practical end-of-life planning advice and a listener mail segment on Gen Z communication and the "Gen Z stare."
