Thanks for Asking offers a real and honest look at grief and loss, without sugarcoating or an overemphasis on finding a silver lining. The host, Nora McInerny, began the podcast in 2016 after losing her husband in 2014.

Originally called Terrible, Thanks for Asking, the name was changed in 2025 to Thanks for Asking. Weirdly, that shift gives me hope, and if you’re reading this, I have a feeling you understand exactly why.

If you’ve listened, I’d love to hear what resonated with you. Share your thoughts in the comments below.
