Stuck in hospital, in need of a light listen!

So, I'm unexpectedly in hospital wired up to an IV. It's hot, I'm missing my kids and I feel pretty rotten. Can the great hive mind of MN recommend me some gentle and entertaining listens while I'm confined to bed? I've just got up to date on the Welcome to Hell podcast which I loved. Nothing that requires any great concentration as I'm intermittently feverish and intermittently falling asleep!

Another vote for Betwixt the Sheets, really interesting and lots of variety.
Also Dead Ringers & Sorry I Haven’t a Clue for light relief.

I quite like Real Survival Stories on bbc sounds. And check out Leading (Alastair Campbell/Rory Stewart) podcast. They interview some really interesting people.

It's a Fair Cop on BBC Sounds

You guys, I'm overwhelmed by the suggestions! Thank you so much. I really hope I don't have time to try them all, but this list will be crucial in keeping my sanity over the next week or so (I hope no more...).

Hope you’re on the mend and out of hospital very quickly. In the meantime, happy listening!
