    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.

    Losing His Father to Suicide & Finding Strength (#35) Nov 19, 2021
    Show notes

    What happens when the person you love takes their own life just as things were starting to heal? In this episode of DEAD Talks, we dive into the devastating reality of losing a parent to suicide and how grief can transform into resilience.

    Vance’s father died by suicide only seven days after their relationship finally started to feel positive. Instead of letting it break him, Vance turned his grief into fuel — rebuilding his life, taking control, and finding a way to grow from tragedy. His story is a raw look at loss, survival, and the power of transformation in the face of unbearable pain.

    Talking to a Medium: Connecting with the Other Side (#34) Nov 10, 2021
    Show notes

    What happens when you sit down with a medium who claims to connect with the other side? In this episode, we explore the mystical world of tarot readings, palm readings, Reiki energy work, astrology, and mediumship—unpacking what it really means to communicate with the dead.

    Tara Brandel shares her journey of discovering and refining her gifts, including how she channels messages through her readings and the deeply personal experiences that shaped her path. Beyond the theory, I also share my own personal session with Tara, where my late father came through, and the powerful emotions and meaning behind that connection.

    This episode dives into:

    • How mediums describe their process of connecting with loved ones
    • The intersection of grief, healing, and spirituality
    • Stories that may shift even the most skeptical minds
    • Why exploring the mystical side of life and death can bring unexpected comfort

    Whether you’re a believer, skeptic, or just curious, this conversation opens the door to understanding life, loss, and the possibility of what lies beyond.
