We enjoyed a warm conversation with Angela Fama, creator of the Death Conversation Game, about art, life, capitalism, social media, and facing your fears.

Angela is a Vancouver-based intersectional artist who explores the spaces inherently found correlating within certain dichotomies (self/other, temporal/timeless, truth/fiction, right/wrong). Her praxis focuses on the inner and outer connections that can be made pushing at the edges of the barriers surrounding ‘sticky’ subjects (such as trauma, identity, love, and death).

The Death Conversation Game is now available as an app in both the Play store and on iTunes.

We have a far ranging and deeply personal conversation with Sam about everything from dark comedy to looking forward to dying. Sam brings a depth of consideration and honesty to our talk that is both humbling and stirring.

Sam is a proud father to two beautiful daughters, a comedian, a retired paramedic, and ex-military. He has faced both depression and PTSD with fortitude and freely shares the uncommon insights he has gained from both.

If you are based in British Columbia, help for working through a traumatic work experience can be found here.

An erudite, engaging and human conversation with Dr. Stefanie Green about Medical Assistance in Dying.

After obtaining her medical degree at McGill University in 1993, Dr. Green completed a residency in Family Medicine and then fellowships in Palliative Care and Infant and Maternal Health. She enjoyed a full-spectrum, academic family medicine teaching practice with a strong focus on multicultural maternity and newborn care.

After more than 20 years in practice, and in conjunction with a change in federal law, Dr. Green re-focused her work in 2016 on medical assistance in dying (MAiD). She has experienced the work, the people, and their families as extraordinary, and is constantly aware of the deep privilege of being invited into such an intimate time in another person’s life.

Dr. Green is a co-founder and the current President of the Canadian Association of MAiD Assessors and Providers (CAMAP), and author of "This Is Assisted Dying".
