D.S. Moss is a writer, director, and humanist chaplain whose work lives at the intersection of long-form storytelling and existential inquiry. His storytelling is defined by a deep philosophical curiosity and an unwavering pursuit of the stories that connect us to our shared humanity.

Moss works in serial and episodic form, building narratives across time rather than in a single sitting. Fundamentally hands-on and documentary in spirit, he embeds himself in the worlds he explores, using playful inquisition to examine the complexity of the human condition. Part street philosopher, part practical altruist.

As showrunner, he has led award-winning series including The Black Kitchen, recipient of the Webby, Signal, and James Beard Awards, and Calling Bullsh!t, distributed by iHeart Media. His podcast The Adventures of Memento Mori was named one of The Atlantic's Top 50, and his first book Something to Believe In is forthcoming from HarperOne in 2026. That same search for meaning led him to chaplaincy. As a non-theist, he trained at Bellevue during the pandemic and served as spiritual adviser to a man on death row, a story featured in The New York Times.

Uncertain of what happens after we die, Moss has dedicated his life to the positive changes that can happen while we're still alive.
