Best Grief Podcasts to Pitch As a Guest (2026)
Grief podcasts give listeners a place to feel less alone after a loss, and many are hosted by people who have lost someone themselves. For grief counselors, therapists, hospice and end-of-life professionals, and authors who write about loss, these shows reach people at a moment when the right voice matters.
This list is built for pitching, not listening. Every show below takes guests and comes with listener estimates and booking difficulty, so you can tell quickly whether it fits your client.
What puts a show on this list
- Active — published an episode in the last 2 months
- Takes guests — an interview or guest format
- Mid-sized — 100 to 10,000 estimated listeners per episode and very low to medium booking difficulty: shows your client can realistically get on
- Has a contact email — so you can pitch the show directly
Household-name shows are left out on purpose. They rarely book guests from cold pitches; mid-sized shows do, and their audiences are often more focused.
Pitch grief shows gently
Grief hosts protect their listeners. Pitches that land are warm and specific: your client’s connection to loss, one topic they can speak to (child loss, caregiving, grief at work, or supporting someone else), and what a listener will take away. Leave out anything that reads like promotion.
