S1:E22 THE REAL PHYLLIS MORRIS

Episode Summary

Episode 22 is titled "The Real Phyllis Morris" because it includes a rare recording of my mom's actual voice. I also include a link in the show notes to an interview I conducted with her back in 2019, before the dementia and cancer had become overpowering. Honestly though, I think this episode is one of the most interesting ones so far. There's also a sort of guest appearance (in deed) by my buddy Garth, from Australia. Good times.

Episode Notes

Episode 22 is a doozy. You get to hear my mom's voice.  Plus a lot of big questions, challenging moments: Who should get the inheritance? How and why do caregivers lose their bearings? What makes a sane person start resting their head on random hallway walls? How long do you wait to reconnect with a sibling who didn't help? What happens when both parents are no longer thinking clearly?

Special thanks to Garth Ryan for the awesome idea to include my mom's voice in this episode.
