My mother, Katie Maher, came prepared to EPISODE 100 of This Is Your Afterlife. The first guest to bring notes! She shares her experience during my coma and her strong beliefs about the afterlife. I share a piece about her from the one-man show that gave birth to this podcast. And the episode ends with the funniest five minutes of the show so far.

Content warning: medical trauma, faith, dating, cinnamon rolls, The Bible, Uvalde, thoughts and prayers, lots and lots of paper towels.

If you think This Is Your Afterlife is worth the price of a nice coffee or a cheap meal, fund the show for $5 or $15/month at patreon.com/davemaher. Subscribers get my full convos with guests, the companion podcast This Is Your Aftershow, and shoutouts in future episodes.

Leave me a voicemail to play on the show: (313) MIST-URA (647-8872).
