The Antidote

299

The world is a dumpster fire. Work wives, best friends, and TV writers/producers Amy Aniobi and Grace Edwards want to help. In response to the madness in the news, they share the culture that lights them up and activities that bring them joy, plus strategies they use to cope with these wild times. They also invite inspiring special guests to share their own self-care strategies. And since Grace and Amy are comedy writers, they bring a level of casual, edgy fun to it all. During these trying times we all need a show that focuses on joy. This is The Antidote.

    Reticular Activating System (RAS)
    When you start to see more of what you’ve recently begun to focus on! “Your RAS takes what you focus on and creates a filter for it. It then sifts through the data and presents only the pieces that are important to you. All of this happens without you noticing, of course.” - Cami (p.s. I left a voice comment — love y’all!)

    I want more!
    Whyyyyy is this podcast only once a week!? I want more more more. This podcast makes me feel like my “guilty pleasures” aren’t meant to be guilty and to find the little things that bring you joy and celebrate them. I can’t get enough of Grace and Amy. It’s like having a conversation with a friend.

    A soothing balm for my ashy soul
    These ladies have such great perspectives, great reminders of better ways to move through the world, and they’re always funny and so natural. I’ve really gained a lot from it. They are doing the Lord’s work!

    OMG???
    I was looking for a new podcast to listen to this morning and I came across The Antidote! IT’S SO PERFECT and EXACTLY what I needed!
  • Srahs
    A new fave
    After I’ve read the news of the day, I need this show, so very much. Love the guests, and the hosts are hilarious and definitely bring joy and a sense of positivity to my day!
  • nurselalala
    Frank and funny
    The Antidote is an exciting concept. In essence, there are intelligent women talking about what’s happening now in the news. Discuss, then this, a pivot: self care completed. An antidote to survive the wrongs. What we can do to undo the harm to ourselves (and not become a part of the problem).
  • eIbragimova
    So good and soothing
    I’ve been rationing out this podcast so I could stretch out the lil dose of calm joy i get when i listen. Amy and Grace are so freaking wise and funny and it really feels like you’re sitting down with good friends to unwind from all the chaos. It is a lovely and perfect podcast, I cannot recommend it enough!
  • sunliteandgrowing77!

    Exactly the podcast I didn’t even know I needed
    Refreshing and relevant!! This podcast covers it all: news briefs, self care, laughter, and above all—realness!
  • SEED.OF.LIFE
    Thank you for this energy
    As a black non-binary lgbt person living in a community where people like me are few and far between a resource like this is so helpful. I’ve found you two episodes in and I’m wishing I could binge episodes but I’m so happy I have something to watch grow from the early stages. Keep being awesome ✨🌴🧘🏿‍♀️🧘🏿‍♀️🌴✨
  • Hogback Mountain Mom
    Fun, Uplifting, Smart, Funny, and Excellent
    I always wanted to be a fly on the wall in the writers room of the show “Insecure" -- I imagined it would be full of very fun, uplifting, smart, funny, and just generally excellent people. These two podcast hosts
  • _xLemonx_
    Will follow ANYTHING Jenna Hanchard does
    LOVE this little dose of Black girl joy!!
  • USAF84
    Challenging convo
    There were many relevant topics discussed. Artistic endeavors that prompt happiness were talked about and a quote from Jason Pollock brought the subject back around to self care. The segment is Very well written and produced . I hope that they maintain this quality because I absolutely anticipate listening to the Anecdote weekly.
  • yummicoco

    ‘It’s giving shackles, I quit’ lol ICONIC 😆 great ep with Robin Thede 👏🏽

    Great New Podcast!

  • MissMonyPony
    Hit. It. Out. Of. The. Park.
    I don’t use baseball analogies very often, but when I do, you can bet it’s not about how slow-moving something is. In this case it’s about how ONE episode of ONE podcast (that I randomly found in, “New and Noteworthy”) totally transformed my lunch hour. The Antidote fills a very specific void, taking you on a journey filled with moments of levity, relief, and best of all: Connection. Amy and Grace’s easy style and friendly banter make you feel like part of their circle. Tracey Ellis Ross was a gem of a first interview. So yeah…I don’t care if I never get back. Home run, ladies. 👏👏👏
  • thehappylawyer

  • HaasCL
    One episode in and I’m hooked!
    We all need a little bit more joy in our life and celebrating black joy is even more badly needed. Can’t wait to follow along every week!
  • reece_meow

  • Green machine josephine
    Exactly Right
    Much needed mid-week pick me up, this podcast title is exactly right — Amy and Grace’s conversation is like self-love salve to the soul. Can’t wait for more from these delightful two. Positive but self-aware that yes, the world’s a dumpster fire but we can still find our own light and find a way to let it shine.
  • Beatles #1 fan!!! <3
    needed this antidote!!
    i got off the subway today feeling heavy & tired … this was *exactly* what I needed to feel some joy! Thank you 🙌🙌 And I’m going to call my joyful activities my Antidotes too.. I love that. Excited for the next episode
  • Erica the Realest
    This is exactly what my heart needed
    The last few days have shown me how unsafe a lot of the media I consume is. This really is the antidote!
  • jasonamos
    A breath of fresh air
    I love the concept & execution of this pod. It’s fun to hear witty banter between 2 brilliant, relatable friends. Beyond that, it’s soothing for them to acknowledge the world’s problems head on - holding space to recognize we’re not alone with the negative feelings. It’s also HELPFUL to talk through ways to keep moving forward and thriving in our own lives. Based on their individual and collective success, they clearly take their own advice. The ancestors would be proud of this one!
  • Sandydaze
    great pod with refreshing hosts
    a lovely listen with organic conversations
  • BW in LA
    Breath of fresh air!
