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.’

Exactly ten years after they appeared as eager contestants, David Hunter and Tim Prottey-Jones rewatch Andrew Lloyd Webber's 'Superstar', the TV Talent Show searching for a leading man to play 'Jesus' in the arena tour of 'Jesus Christ Superstar'. And while neither of them won (disgusting, I know) the show launched their Musical Theatre careers, with appearances in Rent, Kinky Boots, Once, Waitress and that very production of Jesus Christ Superstar. So join David and Tim as they giggle their way through the high and lows of Superstar, and the careers that followed, right her on Jesus Christ Supercast.

Comedy writers Jason Hazeley and Joel Morris talk to people who make comedy about something funny that they love. Guests pick something that makes them laugh. A book, a film, a tv show, a comic, a radio show, anything. Maybe we find out something about how comedy works, or we just giggle until we're finished. Both approaches are valid.

Order Up! is a podcast hosted, produced, and created by Matthew Ardill, Cari Haim, Mary Kennedy, and Kelly Zemnickis – four friends who love to talk food. But as much as they love food, they do have some questions.
Each episode of the podcast will include special guests and fun questions like, "What's a dish that brings you back to childhood?" but also feature one main question per season. For the first six episodes, they will try to figure out "Is a Hamburger a Sandwich?" with future seasons investigating: "Is Cereal Soup?", "Are Hotdogs Sandwiches?", and "What's Better: Pancakes or Waffles?" -
