Welcome thanatology. Or, as we like to call it – Death 101.
In this episode, Maria teaches you (and Ammo) what exactly this scientific study of death is and why education in this area is so very important.
There are also some key goals in education in the thanatology space, which they both explore. These goals are based on thanatology to live a better, happier life… a Philotimo Life! From helping in personal enrichment, future planning, and participating in society, all the way to vocational training and dealing with loss – you’ll see why they’re both so hot on death literacy.
Happy listening!

In our very first episode, Maria and Ammo answer the big question: What is Philotimo Life?
But before that, they have to talk a little bit about what the word Philotimo means, how they met, and why this podcast isn’t as morbid as you think it is...
You’ll also get to understand what they bring to the table and their (very different) experiences with death. Finally, you’ll hear the big audacious dreams for the young Philotimo Life, and what to expect from season one.
Happy listening!
