Hacking the Afterlife with Jennifer Shaffer, Luana Anders and John Lennon

from Hacking The Afterlife podcast · host richardmartini

A tad shorter podcast today, but still jam packed with fun. Podcast begins with a conversation from Luana Anders, talking about "my next book" (when the last one came out in Easter).   The point was that this morning I was having this "I wonder if I should blend these two ideas into one book" - and Jennifer said "She's saying she put that thought in your head, to blend the ideas." That's one of those "uncanny" things for me, but it's not about me - so I asked Luana if she had anyone that wanted to chat with us, and John Lennon popped up.  He wanted to mention that Music, playing songs that your loved one loved, or that you associate with a loved one, is a way to stay in touch with them. I decided to take a shot and ask him about his relationship with May Pang, who has a documentary out (Jennifer and I both haven't seen it, but I read a great interview with her about it) and he answer my questions in a frank, straightforward way. So that's a bit mind bending, because it's like we can ask our loved ones on the flipside questions about why events occurred, and if we're lucky, they'll tell us why. Happened to have a copy of the The Beatles Complete Chord Songbook next to my desk, I literally put it there yesterday, so the fact he'd stop by is also uncanny - unless you're a fan of the podcast. Then it's totally canny. Not uncanny. Enjoy!
