Life, Death, and Cookies
by Life, Death and Cookies
Death is almost universally a difficult topic to talk about, but it affects us all. None of us can escape this life without facing death, whether our own or the deaths of those we love, and we take a deep look at death and what it can mean for living life. Hosts Char and Oliver Tanner face these topics through the lens of their own experiences and the ongoing experience of dealing with a genetic mutation that is slowly killing Char. Finally, each episode is finished with a mini celebration of another day of life through the sharing of a different cookie each week.
