S4 BONUS: Stephanie Piccirilli "The Spirit of Al"
Who's Missing?
Emily's conversation with Stephanie Piccirilli in May of 2024 moved us in ways that were deeply complex. We heard the difficult personal journey of her father's terminal cancer. In so many ways "Al" was the star of that episode. Last week, found rest from his battle with cancer. Given all the lessons he taught, we wanted to honor him and Steph with this special release. Fall feels like such a natural time to grieve, but this conversation is filled with optimism. Listen in on the rich reminders of how people who have died continue to make an impact long after they're gone.
