Actor, comedian and host of Griefcast Cariad Lloyd joins Dr Alex George on the Stompcast this week. Cariad lost her dad at 15, and almost 2 decades later decided to talk about it on her award-winning podcast which helps us see the funny side of grief.

In part 1, Cariad shares which countries are the best and worst at talking about death, why the UK are so rubbish with grieving and where “mourning periods” come from.

Plus, Cariad explains why she hates it and offers a helpful model she would replace it with.
