I'm off work sick with depression at the moment. I am trying to eat well and go for a daily walk, but that does me in to be honest and I need to lie down under a blanket afterwards. I don't have the energy for TV

I have enjoyed podcasts previously, and was wondering if the good people of MN could recommend some for me. I'm enjoying Mel Giedroyc is quilting at the moment as it is very light and uplifting. Is there anything similar?
Thank you

@Arcadia

Thanks for these, I've found them useful if I can't sleep in the night or whilst crocheting. I have Spotify and didn't realise they were on there! Does anyone know how I access Podcasts quickly on my iPhone via Spotify? Doesn't seem to be a way to go straight to them.
It's really easy - type in the podcast you want to listen to in the search box (just like you would music) and it should come up straightaway. If not just scroll down to "all podcasts and shows"

Beautiful Anonymous is usually an easy, interesting listen. Dear Hank and John and No Such Thing as a Fish are my go to for cheering me up.

Kermode & Mayos film review - yes it's about films but it's not really and is about as life affirming as podcasts come.

David Tennant does a podcast is a warm hug of a podcast

I really enjoy Armchair expert with Dax Shepard, funny, warm and great guests.

Thank you for the drunk women solve a crime recommendation - just listened to the trailer & downloaded a couple for this morning's run!

Following! Just got a subscription to Spotify and am pretty new to podcasts. I like the Dr Chatterjee 'feel better live more' although I have an irrational dislike of his tone and phrasing for some reason

Another vote for Drunk Women Solving Crime.
I’m listening to The Birthday Game at the moment. It’s hosted by Richard Osman and he has 3 guests who try to guess how old a celebrity is. Much more fun than it sounds.

Fortunately with Fi and Jane makes me laugh out loud on my walk. I’m sure people think I’m a bit mad.
