I'm new to reddit and podcasts. A few days ago on another thread someone suggested that I try podcasts and I looked around and have basically no clue where to start so...

My mom passed away unexpectedly about three weeks ago, we had lived together as adults for over two decades and I am finding the emptiness of the house unbearable.

I'm not looking for anything about grief or loneliness, I'm looking for something that "feels" like they're talking "to" me so I don't feel so alone at home. I don't really care about the subject matter so long as it isn't dark/angry/depressed. And I'm more interested in feeling the sense of companionship in the conversation than the content.

My mom passed away about two weeks ago and we had lived together as adults for over two decades. The aloneness of the house is bothering me. Badly. I've been watching live news bc they talk to the viewer and it helps the loneliness in a way that scripted shows don't. I also watched a few episodes of Qi and 8 out of 10 cats. So, does anyone have any suggestions for programming that will help me feel less alone?

eta- I'm new to reddit and I didn't expect so many replies so fast. I've made 2 lists, shows to watch and shows for company. I added some of the game shows to my watchlist and the ballgame suggestion might be exactly what I need, I don't watch sports so I guess I'll learn something too. Thanks so much🙏
