The Young & the Weary

Dev's Final Episode

In this episode, we celebrate the life of our beloved friend and podcaster, Dev, who died this past April at the age of 93. Dev was a light to all who knew her, and thanks to this podcast, her humor and wisdom will never be forgotten. Jeremy reads Dev's obituary (who we all know LOVED obituaries), recaps some of our favorite moments of the podcast (including the time Dev smoked weed for the first time AND the time Dev cold read as Mclovin), explains how Dev challenged him on his views of drugs and relationships, and discusses how we can all learn and benefit from the beautiful life of Dev Rogers. Sit back, grab a bagel, make a cup of Bruce's famous coffee and enjoy this final tribute to an unforgettable woman. Link to donate in Dev's honor...https://pnhp.org/
