Lifesaver
Cariad and The Griefcast have been a literal lifesaver for me in this first year of grief. I shudder to think where I would be now, grieving a painful and shocking death during a pandemic, if it wasn’t for this podcast. It’s like attending group therapy but I don’t have to talk. My only suggestion is more listening and less interrupting of the guests, sometimes I feel like the guest was going to continue on with their train of thought and then it gets sidelined and I’m sat wondering what they wanted to say. I have this comment for many podcast hosts as well, that making affirming sounds or statements (like “yes, yes” or “hmm” etc) can be very distracting as I can’t then hear what the guest is saying and I’ve missed it, and I can also tell when the guest is about to be interrupted because I’ll hear a sharp intake of breath from the host and I’m often saying out loud, “please let the guest talk // finish speaking”. And often we don’t need a summary of what the guest just said. Don’t get me wrong, I still give the podcast 5 stars but I’ve noticed this with many hosts (even Oprah!) who sometimes dilute the amazing and valuable experience with these unconscious behaviors, and I often feel like I didn’t hear as much as I wanted from the guest who was willing to share even more. I hope this constructive comment is taken well and thank you for continuing on with the series!

I’ve been listening to podcasts since the mid 2000’s and Griefcast, without a doubt, has been the one series that has had the greatest effect on me. What makes this so wonderful is that it welcomes people to grief in a light hearted way. Death is the biggest and most present taboo. This...Read full review »

If you're part of the dead parent club, you know how big of a gap that there is between how much time you spend thinking about your dead loved one and how much capacity the world has to talk with you about it. I was blessed to find this podcast around 2 months after my dad died from early...Read full review »
