As a fan, I enjoyed last week's tribute repeat episode of ABC Radio National's from 2020, with in conversation with the recently departed English author about the last book he wrote, Inside Story, on the death of his closest friend, .

Phillip and Martin also explore other questions on how to live, grieve and die. And my favourite part of their conversation is a philosophical discussion about 36 minutes into the episode, where Phillip admits to Martin that he shares the English poet and author Philip Larkin's fear of "being dead" rather than "dying" itself. That is, "the notion of billions of years of nothingness". To which Martin responds, "Did you mind all those millenia when you were yet to born?"

Please note: Phillip issues a "health warning" that the episode contains some "adult themes" and "if that's not you cup of tea, perhaps switch off". Or, in our case, scroll on.
