Passing Thoughts is an Australian podcast about death, dying, grief, and everything that comes with life’s final chapter. Hosted by Rob Kaldor, each episode covers topics Australians are increasingly asking about — palliative care, voluntary assisted dying, aged care, wills, near-death experiences, and the grief journey. Honest, warm, and sometimes surprisingly funny. Funded by the Wicking Trust, produced with Radio 2RPH.

For too long, death has been treated as a taboo. Passing Thoughts aims to shift that by improving death literacy through honest, engaging, and sometimes surprising conversations. Expect laughter, a few tears, and a whole lot of real talk. Funded by the Wicking Trust and produced with the support of Radio 2RPH, Passing Thoughts opens up the final chapter of life with warmth, curiosity, and humanity.

Our regular contributers are Barbara Sullivan, Jane Mundy and Connie Mason.
