117: We're Only Mostly Dead

Near death experiences. Are they as life-changing as TV would have us believe? Does everyone that comes close to their demise see a bright light or do they simply survive and live to fight another day?

We explore some famous and lesser known brushes with death, as well as some stories of survival to surpass all odds. Meet the man who spent the longest at sea on a tiny boat (over a year!) and find out which of the Man in Black, Johnny Cash's animals that almost gutted him out of pure heartbreak. Then hear how far back near death experiences have been recorded, and how close one can come to being taken too soon, by complete accident. Hope you have a unique name!! :)
