The Eric Norcross Podcast

This is a special announcement to explain why there haven't been many episodes this season. There's a very good reason!

The most meaningful projects I've ever produced in the medium of cinema are my movies Death & Life and Fractals. However, these movies are only available via streaming platforms, and not available on optical disc. That is why I've decided to utilize my podcast to create the first official audio commentaries for these two projects.   

For episode 108, please enjoy my commentary for my 2017 feature arthouse film, DEATH & LIFE.

I'm not sure what happened, but if you come across a YouTube video of a woman describing her NDE experience, like the one I mentioned, with all the specific details, please let me know by sending me a message through my website (linked below).  I'll check it out and if it's the same interview, I'll post the link here.

Loeb is the head of the Galileo Project in search for extraterrestrial intelligence, the Director of the Institute for Theory and Computation (2007-present) within the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics , and also serves as the Head of the Galileo Project (2021-present). He had been the longest serving Chair of Harvard's Department of Astronomy (2011-2020) and the Founding Director of Harvard's Black Hole Initiative (2016-2021).
