About This Podcast

Two fathers. Two stories of loss. One mission to get back up.

Real conversations with two men learning to navigate life, raise children, and find love again…after loss.


Hosted by Jamal Jones and David McClain, Getting Back Up: Life after Death is a real, raw, and often humorous podcast about what comes after the unthinkable—losing a partner, facing grief, and finding your way through it. As two widowers, now devoted girl dads (and one remarried man), Jamal and David create space for honest conversations around healing, identity, and starting over. 

Getting knocked down is part of life. Getting back up is how we live.
