Emma Kennedy

Griefcast

About this episode

This week Cariad talks to screenwriter, actor + author, Emma Kennedy (The Tent, The Bucket & Me, BBC sitcom The Kennedy's) about her mum, Brenda, who died in 2014. Brenda suffered from undiagnosed mental illness and three years after her death, Emma discovered a suitcase of letters she had written to her, which formed the basis of her new book, Letters From Brenda. As ever we talk grief, terrible cooking + missing the wild one.


You can buy Emma's new book, Letters From Brenda, now. For more information on all her projects, click here: https://www.emmakennedy.co.uk

Griefcast is hosted by Cariad Lloyd, edited by Kate Holland, recorded remotely in Cariad's living room, artwork is by Jayde Perkin and the music is provided by The Glue Ensemble. And remember, you are not alone.


Cariad's book, You Are Not Alone, is published by Bloomsbury Tonic and available for pre-order now.
