Summary

February 11, 2026 - Why does the death of someone we’ve never met sometimes hit harder than the loss of people we actually knew? This week, the Musers wrestle with the strange, emotional power of celebrity death. From actors and musicians to athletes and comedians, they explore why certain losses feel personal, how art and performance weave themselves into our own life stories, and why the passing of a public figure can feel like losing a piece of ourselves. The conversation ranges from NFL Films and childhood heroes to John Prine, Norm Macdonald, Anthony Bourdain, and the people whose work shaped who we were at different stages of life. Along the way, they confront mortality, memory, grief, and the uneasy truth and business of their own pending demise. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
