Any uplifting true life story podcasts?

[GalacticalFarce]

I listened to some true crime, which is fascinating but there's always an undercurrent of sadness to them.
I'm looking for anything similar but that are happier.
Any out there?

I've never got into it but DH swears by The Moth for true life stories of all kinds.

I've enjoyed a few of A Slight Change Of Plans where people tell how their lives changed due to a twist of fate or a change of direction.

They sound fab. Love the twist of fate idea. Thanks!

I've been listening to Real Survival Stories on BBC Sounds.

Here's a bit of a cross section of different things to try:

Heavyweight
This American Life
Reply all
Normal gossip
Search engine
Sentimental garbage

Helena Bonham Carter’s series on BBC Sounds about unknown heroes of WWII

Life Changing with Dr Sian Williams is a good one

Not always crime, but "This is actually happening" is a great podcast for real life stories. There are many people facing the most arduous challenges, and how they overcame them.

This American Life

Following because I need a change from true crime

Can I ask which True crime podcasts you would recommend op

Thanks for The Moth recommendation, just watched one and it was quite good.

@needhelpwiththisplease The most recent one I listened to was The Lady Vanishes.

Thanks for the others. Lots to choose from.

Where are you going?

I bloody love this podcast.

Yes I've enjoyed this one. Often difficult subject matter (the twins attacked by the alligator stands out!) but tales of beating the odds and overcome adversity.

I also really love The Infinite Monkey Cage as it's funny and clever (and there are tonnes of episodes.)

It was the one about the woman on the bolting horse and carriage that I remember
