To Know Ends: Honest conversations about aging, illness, and dying well

What does it mean to live well — all the way to the end? To Know Ends is a podcast about the conversations we avoid, the care we don't understand, and the people who show up anyway. Each episode features voices from inside and outside the world of hospice and palliative care — nurses, social workers, caregivers, artists, and people who have sat beside someone they loved as they died — speaking honestly about what aging, decline, and dying actually look like, and what becomes possible when we stop running from those realities. The title means two things at once. To know ends is to understand what a closing looks like. It is also to know no ends — to discover that confronting mortality honestly doesn't shrink a life. It expands it.
