The Last Will Podcast

The Last Will Podcast

A Last Will and Testament where we have conversations about ideas we want to leave behind, how we struggle with loss, and the absurdity of life and death. I have often thought my time here is going to be cut short. If this is true I want to make sure I have something to leave my kids. That’s where the idea for this podcast was born. Literally record musing on the life and leave a document of points of view and tastes on many of the elements of life.
