Hi, nsqrs.
We're off for Independence Day.
So we're resharing one of our favorite questions from the first year of the show.
We've added a couple new elements, so even if you've heard it before, there's a little something different for you.
We'll be back next week with a brand new episode.
In the meantime, enjoy this conversation from the NSQ archive.

Do you need a telegram?

I'm Angela Duckworth.
I'm Stephen Dubner, and you're listening to New York.
No stupid questions.
Today on the show, how does facing death change your life?
