Short reviews from the PlayNext desk, based on the episodes we processed.

104: Parenting After Loss / Sibling Mental Health

A grounded conversation about how children find their way into family grief.

Parenting after loss sits beside the everyday work of watching a child grow up, as Matt talks about his daughter Etta beginning to ask questions and show interest in Callie.

Christmas Special 2025

A loose Christmas catch-up where a bronze award, a karaoke challenge, and listener thanks carry the warmth.

Still Parents Podcast's Christmas special works as a seasonal catch-up rather than a formal year-end roundtable. The hosts turn a sign-off episode into an easy look at the work around the show, joking through a less-jolly Christmas song, returning to their bronze award, and…

106: When the Anniversary Hits

A candid discussion of how baby loss anniversaries can shape emotions, family rituals, and ordinary days.

Baby loss anniversaries rarely keep to a neat emotional timetable, and this live conversation sits with that uncertainty. Matt and Ryan from the Lily Mae Foundation consider why the first anniversary may feel different from the second or third, how families choose their own ways…

91: Liam's Legacy - Chris Wood

A blunt, honest account of loss and survival.

Chris Woods' episode stays close to the fact of being alive after Liam is gone, and that is what makes it hard to shake. It opens with easy banter across the Australia-UK time gap, then turns toward the two mornings he sat on a hill and thought about flooring it because the…

99: Baby Loss in the Military - Michael Sherwin

A blunt, compassionate conversation about loss, certainty, and the burden of making the call.

Michael Sherwin's account stays with a hard kind of certainty: looking back at the scan, checking it again, and trying to arrive at a choice that felt honest instead of reckless.

101: Friends & Family

A steady, human listen about grief, support, and the awkward first laugh after loss.

Grief is handled as something people move through one uneven morning at a time. Dan, Ryan, and Matt linger on the support that arrives after a loss, from the quiet helpers who sort out the practical mess to the people who keep checking in without crowding the room.

92: Anger Management and Mindset - Rob Saunders

A blunt, compassionate look at child loss, grief, anger, and the bargaining that can follow.

Rob Saunders joins the Still Parents podcast for an unflinching conversation about child loss, grief, anger, and the bargaining that can follow.

95: Health & Wellness - Dr Sydney Fenton

A frank conversation about grief, trust, and who people open up to.

The conversation sits with the awkward part of grief support: people trying to help without having lived the loss themselves. It keeps coming back to trust, asking who feels safe to talk to, what makes a provider feel steady, and why gender can matter when grief and pregnancy…
