For those facing an increasingly isolating and exhausting experience – caring for ageing parents – Vanessa Grigoriadis's podcast 'So Your Parents are Old' offers comfort and practical advice. In a candid discussion with Leeza Gibbons, the US talkshow host who set up a centre for carers, she shares her personal story of navigating this challenging situation. Gibbons's tale is relatable, yet uniquely individual, making it an essential listen for those who feel they're on their own in caring for a loved one.
However, amidst the comforting conversations, another pressing concern has emerged: the alarming rise of deadly diseases like HIV, TB, and malaria, claiming over two million lives annually. Foreign Policy's 'The Threshold' series delves into this reality, featuring expert insights to determine if these illnesses can be eradicated in our lifetimes.
Meanwhile, fashion enthusiasts are getting a unique perspective on high-end outdoor clothing by exploring the connection between military gear and consumer brands. Avery Trufelman's 'Articles of Interest' continues to impress with its thought-provoking analysis.
For those drawn to storytelling, 'Conversations With Ghosts', a new podcast series blending horror and memoir-style fiction, has arrived in time for Halloween. The show promises an exercise in compassion over exorcism as it delves into the lives of spirits.
Lastly, Peter Easton's children uncovered a German birth certificate that unraveled a family mystery surrounding the Eisner family, whose lives were severely impacted by the Holocaust. 'The History Podcast: The House at Number 48' sheds light on this intriguing tale, exploring themes of identity, heritage, and resilience.

I've had friends who have been in the same situation and it's super tough, you know? But what really caught my attention is that foreign policy article about deadly diseases. It's crazy how many lives are lost to things like HIV, TB, and malaria each year... 
. but also, i'm low-key obsessed with 'Conversations With Ghosts' - horror & memoir vibes? yes pls 
... how do we uncover our own family histories & keep the memories alive?
It's crazy to think about how many lives are lost every year. I feel like we need more people like Leeza Gibbons who's making a difference 
I mean, have you listened to "So Your Parents are Old"? It's like, so honest and relatable - I can already imagine having a chat with Vanessa Grigoriadis about my own parents' care situation 
. And on the flip side, it's crazy that there's such a need for more awareness about diseases like HIV and TB... but I guess that's what these podcasts are all about, right? 
Exploring the good stuff and the not-so-good stuff to make us better equipped to deal with life 
.
. I wish more focus was put into finding a cure for these things instead of just talking about them.
we cant just keep talkin bout our personal struggles when ppl r losin their lives left & right 
. I think it's great that Vanessa Grigoriadis has a podcast like 'So Your Parents are Old' where she can share her experiences and offer advice to others who are going through similar situations. It really is a huge help and a reminder that we're not alone in this journey.
can't we do better than this 
i mean who doesn't love a good analysis of high-end outdoor clothing and its military gear roots 
it sounds like some great content over at articles of interest
i need to check that out but also can we talk about the importance of compassion vs exorcism for a sec? 
. But honestly I think we need more podcasts like 'so your parents are old' - I know it's a tough topic but there needs to be more honest conversations about caring for loved ones, especially when it feels isolating and overwhelming 
. But then you hear Vanessa Grigoriadis on her podcast 'So Your Parents are Old' talking about how she navigated that situation, and it's like a weight has been lifted off your shoulders 
. I think what resonates with me is the practical advice – like, who knew there were so many resources out there for carers?
