Long Time Dead is an exploration of death as the inevitability that transcends culture, religion, wealth, status, and social position. Hosted by Ash Hawrani, the podcast asks us to confront a subject that is simultaneously universal and strangely difficult to discuss. Each episode interrogates death from both an ontological and epistemological perspective: What is death? What is its nature? What can we actually know about it? And what meanings, rituals, fears, and symbols do human beings create in response to it? The show begins by looking at how different people and cultures reckon with mortality. Through conversations with individuals from different faith traditions, we explore questions such as: What do you believe death is? Do you think about it often? How do you reconcile yourself with it? And do you fear it? These conversations examine the striking differences and unexpected similarities in how human beings confront the same inevitable end. Fr
