    DEAD Talks

    DEAD Talks with David Ferrugio is a podcast about death, grief, loss, and what it means to truly live. After losing his father on 9/11, David created a space for honest, emotional, and sometimes funny conversations about the one thing we all face but rarely talk about.

    Each episode features guests sharing real stories about grief, near-death experiences, the afterlife, healing, trauma, spirituality, and the human experience. You might cry, you might laugh, and you might leave thinking about life a little differently.

    Lil Xan Opens Up on Grief, Addiction, and Mental Health | With Durag Dev (RIP) (#56) May 27, 2022
    Show notes

    Hip hop artist Lil Xan (Diego) gets raw and honest in this episode of DEAD Talks, opening up about grief, addiction, and the death of his close friend Citgo to suicide. He reflects on how loss shaped his struggles with drugs, his path to sobriety, and the lessons he’s learned watching fellow artists like Lil Peep, XXXTentacion, and Juice WRLD die too soon.

    Lil Xan is joined by Durag Dev, designer and creator of LVXWA, who vulnerably shares his own experiences with grief and loss. Tragically, Durag Dev himself passed away in September 2025, making this conversation even more impactful as one of the last recordings capturing his perspective and spirit.

    This episode shows a side of Lil Xan that fans rarely see — thoughtful, self-aware, and deeply reflective about life, death, and the importance of checking in on each other. It’s also a tribute to Durag Dev, honoring his creativity, his story, and his voice in the grief and mental health conversation.

    Bobby Boyd on Losing Both Parents to Cancer and Finding Strength (#55) May 21, 2022
    Show notes

    Bobby Boyd faced the unimaginable — losing both of his parents less than two months apart to cancer. In this raw and deeply personal episode, Bobby opens up about spending their final moments together, how he processed the grief during and after, and what life looks like when your foundation is gone.

    Beyond his loss, Bobby is known as a luxury realtor in Los Angeles, a former model, and a vibrant social media presence where he shares food, drink, and lifestyle content. Here, though, he offers something even more valuable: his vulnerability, honesty, and perspective on life after profound loss.

    This episode is about grief, resilience, and learning to keep living when life hits the hardest.

    Near-Death Experience Part 2: What God Told Penny Wittbrodt (#51) Apr 24, 2022
    Show notes

    This is Part 2 and the finale of Penny Wittbrodt’s Near-Death Experience (NDE), where she describes meeting God and what she was shown about forgiveness, future events, and the power of our thoughts.

    In this compelling story, Penny explains how she finally emerged from the void and the life-changing wisdom she brought back with her. As a registered nurse, she has since shared her NDE widely — contributing to Dr. Penny Sartori’s book The Transformative Power of Near-Death Experiences and appearing in the Amazon Prime documentary Death and Back 2.

    This episode is a deep dive into spirituality, healing, and what it means to glimpse the afterlife.
