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. Part of grief is feeling quite isolated, so when you realize, ‘Oh, it's not just me,’ It does help.” In each episode, Lloyd makes space for natural, unhurried conversations for her guests to talk about death where, in her words, “Nobody’s going to change the subject.”
In 2016, the British actor, comedian, and writer came up with the idea of starting the show when she realized a lot of her comedian friends were doing podcasts. It coincided with her talking about her dad publicly, who passed away from pancreatic cancer when she was 15. “I’d kept it this hidden thing,” she says. "So once I started the podcast, and once people knew, people wanted to talk to me about it. It became this place where I could finally have those conversations I yearned to have.”
The multiple award-winning podcast—which recently celebrated its fifth anniversary and launched its eighth season—has evolved from Lloyd talking to her comedian friends in the UK to inviting a broader range of guests including actors, writers, and producers, allowing her to focus on more specific types of grief. This approach has been especially helpful for her listeners during the global COVID-19 pandemic, steering the show to become a salve during a time when grief has become a more prevalent topic. “I feel really glad that, when the pandemic hit, there was a bank of episodes for people to scroll through— because I feel that's been quite helpful in some ways,” she says. “When you lose someone, you often want the world to stop, and it's enraging that it doesn’t. And the world did stop. It's part of the important process of grief, that the world carries on. And that's really helpful because it reminds you that, ‘You know what? I need to carry on.’

Kundenrezensionen
Thank you
In my early twenties a close friend, then a dear brother tragically and suddenly left this world. In the last two years, in my forties, my mother and my father left. Grief is utterly painful, difficult, life changing & forever present though how you live with it shifts. Hearing other people’s experiences has been soothing, cathartic, a source of solace and a joy, truly …allowing me to remember, to cry, to laugh.
Thank you Cariad, you gem.
This is raw, difficult but you need to listen
I love @griefcast anyway, and both @ladycariad and @weemissbea but, regardless this is a brilliant piece of work on a stand alone basis. The conversation is so measured and detailed, so informed yet, at the same time so obviously between two people who know and trust each other that the truth jumps out vividly.
If you have experienced suicide in any way, most of all perhaps once removed, and have wondered what to do or say, this helps explain how complex the pain can be, how it changes, evolves and wobbles around like a demented blancmange.
It unpacks in an hour or so decades of puzzlement, frustration, anger, terror , stress and eventual enlightenment. The hope that this conversation will bring is worth the listen alone, but it is so very much more as well.
I just need to say thank you to both women for being brave, clever and honest in this way to help all of the rest of us; it cannot have been easy to do, but ladies, please understand the pain was very much worthwhile, and is very much appreciated. For two strong professionals to open the curtain like this and reveal so much that is intensely personal is admirable beyond words. They may have, by being so willing to open up saved some of us from our own ignorance, from feeling alone or confused and possibly from making things worse for someone who is struggling with their own feelings.
