Sebastian Junger

Michael Kosta covers Trump not taking the stand during his hush money trial, Rudy Giuliani's new "tummy friendly" ground coffee company, an Australian billionaire demanding her portrait be removed from a museum, and Ronny Chieng defends Scarlett Johansson against ChatGPT nerds stealing her voice. "I was almost killed a number of times, which is different from the experience of dying." Sebastian Junger, author of "In My Time of Dying: How I Came Face-to-Face with the Idea of An Afterlife," joins Michael Kosta to discuss surviving an aneurysm and his new lease on life. He catalogs years of near-death experiences from surfing to war reporting, being faced with his dead father and the possibility of an afterlife, the terrifying nature of mortality and its ability to make life miraculous, and how the simple act of donating blood saved his life.
