My goal right from the beginning was that I wanted it to be a podcast that, when it stopped, you didn’t feel worse,” says Cariad Lloyd, host of Griefcast, a weekly interview podcast where media personalities share stories about loved ones they've lost. “We’re all in this club that no one asked to join, and it’s really helpful when you realize there’s other people in the club.

I love this podcast so much and when my pet snail died (RIP Snuffles) I listened to this! I must of done the right thing because when I’d finished every episode I bought a new snail! (Snuffles 2.0)
A good pod, but the host could be a little more of a mirror to her guests.
Like her mood sometimes mismatches theirs (she is chirpy, while they are more subdued).
She also occasionally interrupts her guests! Just let them talk!!
Thank you Cariad for recording this podcast when I imagine it’s not always easy for you. My Dad died recently from a rare heart condition and I’ve had zero interest in listening to anything that isn’t meaningful but have also found silence difficult so your podcast is and has been a huge comfort to me as I work through the episodes. Thank you so much
I don’t feel so alone when I’m listening to this. Cariad makes it feel like you’re sitting back, taking everything in and listening to your friends as they talk about really tough subjects that touch us all. It makes you understand your feelings are normal and ok
Please please please I want to listen to this, but your voice is cutting everybody off. Please work on this.
