À propos de cet audio

Before We Go is a narrative podcast hosted and produced by Dr. Shoshana Ungerleider—physician, science journalist, Oscar-nominated documentary producer, host of TED Health, and founder of End Well, a nonprofit reshaping how we think about life’s final chapter.

Season 1 followed Shoshana’s deeply personal journey through her father’s terminal cancer diagnosis, a path that forced her to confront her own mortality and illuminated unexpected truths about love, loss, and meaning.

Now, Season 2 opens the conversation wider. Shoshana sits down with people from all walks of life to explore what it means to live alongside mortality. Actor Yvette Nicole Brown shares her story of caregiving. Comedian Patton Oswalt reflects on grief through the eyes of his child. Actor Alexandra Breckenridge talks about navigating loss, and entrepreneur Mark Cuban lays out his vision for transforming healthcare. Alongside these voices, leading experts help us ask the deeper questions—about love, resilience, and what it means to face the inevitable with courage and compassion.

  • Ricki Lake Lives for Love
    Oct 30 2025

    Ricki Lake has been in the public eye since starring in 1988’s Hairspray. She might be best known as host of The Ricki Lake Show. But she’s not here to talk about movies and TV. She’s here to share the compelling story of her late partner, Christian Evans, and how she continued to feel connected to him after his death – with help from psychic mediums.

    Dr. Josh Bullock studies mediumship from a different angle. Through his research, he investigates why “Pub Psychic Nights” are so popular in the UK — what comfort people are seeking, what answers they’re hoping for, and what it means to feel close to someone we’ve lost. His findings suggest that even skeptics can benefit from these communal spaces.

  • Mark Cuban and Dr. Fumiko Chino Try to F-Up Healthcare
    Oct 23 2025

    Today’s episode features two people who are shaking up the U.S. healthcare system in very different but deeply humane ways. Dr. Fumiko Chino knows firsthand how devastating medical debt can be. After losing her husband to cancer and being left with overwhelming bills, she went to medical school to become a radiation oncologist and made it her mission to make care more affordable.

    Mark Cuban, best known as one of the “sharks” on Shark Tank, is tackling the same problem from another angle. Through his Cost Plus Drug Company, he’s disrupting the industry with a transparent, direct-to-consumer model that’s already changing — and saving — lives.

    Together, Fumiko and Mark offer a hopeful glimpse of what’s possible when empathy meets innovation.

  • Kirsty Parsons Meets Her Future Self
    Oct 16 2025

    How often do you think about your future self? For Kirsty Parsons, who was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis at birth and told she likely wouldn’t live past her twenties, imagining a long future wasn’t even an option. But a groundbreaking new medication has changed everything. And suddenly, Kirsty is facing a future she never planned for.

    Psychologist Hal Hershfield is a researcher who studies how we make long-term decisions — and why we often fail to connect today’s choices with tomorrow’s consequences. Together, Kirsty and Hal offer two sides of the same question: What happens when you finally meet your future self?
