Musician Simon Robert French lost his father when he was just two years old — too young to form real memories. Growing up, he was surrounded by stories, photos, and home videos of a man who shaped his life, yet someone he never truly got the chance to know.

In this episode of DEAD Talks, Simon joins David Ferrugio to explore the complicated reality of grieving a parent you can’t remember. They discuss childhood loss, identity, mental health, and how music became Simon’s way of processing a grief that had quietly shaped his life for years.

This conversation explores how grief doesn’t only come from the memories we have — sometimes it comes from the memories we never had the chance to make.

After his wife began experiencing subtle but troubling symptoms, what initially appeared manageable escalated into a medical emergency. An MRI revealed a large brain tumor requiring immediate intervention. Within days, everything changed.

In this deeply personal conversation, Scott Naso walks through the timeline leading up to that discovery, the warning signs he now reexamines, and the emotional aftermath of losing his wife while raising their young daughter. As a trained investigator, he finds himself grappling with the same question many listeners will ask: How did this happen?

Scott also speaks about grief, boundaries, fatherhood, and the ongoing legal proceedings connected to these events. He shares his perspective as someone trying to honor his wife’s memory while protecting his child’s future.

This episode explores loss, resilience, and what it means when the person trained to find answers is left searching for them himself.

In this episode of DEAD Talks, we explore how intuition and awareness actually work, using mediumship as a lens to understand how humans perceive information beyond logic and overthinking.

This conversation breaks down:

• How intuitive perception shows up (imagery, sensation, “knowing”)

• Why intuition often feels like imagination at first

• How mediumship works without mysticism or dogma

• Why anxiety and control block intuitive awareness

• Why you don’t need to outsource meaning or authority to anyone else

• How these abilities are learnable, not exclusive

Rather than asking you to believe anything, this episode focuses on how perception works — and how learning to trust awareness can change how you move through grief, uncertainty, and life.

This is a grounded conversation about mediumship, intuition, and human consciousness — without fear, hierarchy, or false certainty.
