There are podcasts you can listen to that will enable you to avoid it entirely, for example fictional/story podcasts, in much the same way that you can entirely avoid the news each day by just listening to 4Extra (you're welcome).
This week I've found myself seeking the middle ground again in terms of choosing podcasts that are rooted in todays reality, but which aren't hard news podcasts and which are (whisper it) a bit funny.
As such, I've been enjoying the most recent episode of Beware Of The Leopard, the Hitchhikers Guide podcast, which takes the Don't Panic message on the front of the guide and runs with it in terms of what the guide can teach us about life in lockdown.
A similar regular and reliable level of silliness can also be found over on No Such Things As A Fish.
In the spirit of funny podcasts about serious subjects, I've also been saving up the second series of Susan Calman's Mrs Brightside podcast for a massive binge listen. This highly acclaimed podcast has a simple, but effective, premise, namely Susan in a cupboard talking to comedians about depression and mental illness. It's a very thought provoking and inspiring listen, and is a lot funnier than it sounds.
