In the conclusion of this adventure, D.S. Moss confronts his food consciously and directly. But, is hunting the most ecologically benign way to feed himself? And even if it is, could I pull the trigger? Should he just say the hell with it and go find a local symbiotic farm? So. Many. Questions. Join him as he tries to answer them all beginning in Vermont with a conversation about hunting mindfulness with Tovar Cerulli. Then off to Seattle for more education with hunting celebrity Steven Rinella, and finally into the mountains of Idaho with a couple more Mosses and a German banker.

Do you know how much death is in your diet? Neither did D.S. Moss. Wanting to face his food consciously and directly, Moss leaves no stone unturned to discover how much death is on his plate. He goes from Vegetarian to Vegan to Mindful Hunter to Conscientious Carnivore. This episode comes with a warning: If you’re a human being who eats food it may make you uncomfortable because as D.S. Moss would quickly discover - food - particularly as it relates to death - is an incredibly emotional and complex topic. Please join his journey into the ethics, emotion, and truth of living at the expense of other life. Special Guest: Steven Rinella

Believe it or not, suicide has been the most requested podcast topics for The Adventures of Memento Mori. However, D.S. Moss has been purposefully avoiding it. He likes to have a natural way into an issue, and he just never had the first-hand experience with suicide. Plus, it’s a hard topic. But, after learning that suicide has been steadily on the rise in the United States for the last twenty years, trying to understand why is worth the awkward conversation. And think how dull life would be if we only had the easy conversations. So we invite you to join us and suicidologist John Gunn for a cup of coffee and an awkward conversation.
