I'm so sorry that your BF was so insensitive to your feelings and issues. It's understandable why you would be upset over this.
Is it possible to discuss this with him and let him know how his response to the topic made you feel. And maybe ask him what makes him feel like it's something to laugh about.
It is very possible that he doesn't relate well to the topic and doesn't have as deep an understanding as he could have. He could be attempting to vent his distress over your Depression by using humor and may not understand how much this hurt you.
I encourage you to share your feelings with him to help him know when that humor may/may not be appropriate.
As for the radio hosts...you could always send them an email explaining your disdain for the one host's inappropriate behavior...or file a complaint.
Mostly though...just keep your head up. Anyone that lives with PPD is very strong. It's the ones who feel they need to denigrate people for it who are weak.
