201 - Grieving a sh*tty father | Dan Soder

Comedian, Dan Soder, opens up about losing both his father and sister at a young age, and does it with his brilliant comedic timing with vulnerable realness. He shares the deep impact of grief, parental abandonment, and complicated family dynamics, offering an honest look at coping with loss, finding healing through therapy, and the role of forgiveness in moving forward. This powerful conversation explores how comedy can be a lifeline during dark times, how childhood trauma shapes adult relationships, and how facing emotional pain head-on leads to personal growth and resilience.

DEAD Talks with David Ferrugio engages death a little bit differently. Each new guest shares their experience with grieving or perspective on death in a way that shatters the “don’t talk about death” taboo. Grief doesn't end; it evolves. Having lost his father on September 11th when he was 12, he learned the importance of discussion and sharing other people's stories. DEAD Talks Podcast hopes to make it a little easier to talk about grief, loss, death, mourning, trauma, or whatever it may be. You may cry, but you also may laugh.
