If you've ever seen a loved one before they passed away, and heard their final words, or words in the preceding weeks and wondered what it really means, then do we have the Words at the Threshold show for you.

Today I'll be talking with Lisa Smartt, linguist, educator, poet and the found of the Final words project, and the author of an amazing book new book, Words at the Threshold.

In this show we look at people's final words, from a few weeks out, to a few moments. We'll look at what they mean, recurring themes, and why what we once thought was gibberish, may be anything but.
