Show Notes

Kurt Vonnegut interviews roster of (dearly and not-so-dearly) departed historical figures, Sir Isaac Newton, Hitler, Uncle Alex, Isaac Asimov, Vivian Hallinan, and Kilgore Trout while being kept back from returning to his Earthly body by the crotchety bureaucrat St. Peter. This provocative exploration about who and what we live for shines a light on the uplifting truth Vonnegut embraced in life. “Everything was beautiful. Nothing hurt.”
