Factual: Science & Nature

Why do you do the things you do? Hosted by American musician and writer, Dessa, Deeply Human investigates the human experience with rigor, humor, intimate stories, and the occasional spit take. 

Assembling brilliant minds from around the world--from philosophers to anthropologists, neuroscientists to historians--you will be left with a fuller understanding of your own behavior, and a more charitable explanation of other people's too.

BBC World Service - Deeply Human, Death

Should we change the way we think about the end of our lives?

Should we change the way we think about the end of our lives? It’s time to talk. It is never too late for a rigorous conversation about death activism, the guillotine, and the ferocity of human love. Dessa meets the death doulas who can help you through this, and learns why a “good death” might not be a good thing, and why it might be time to sit down with a pen and a pad and do a little thinking about your own exit.
