The Antidote
Widely available, episodes weekly
Two of the writers of HBO’s Insecure, Amy Aniobi and Grace Edwards – who are also best friends in real life – attempt to inject joy into the “dumpster fire” that is modern life. It’s an enjoyably chatty peek at life’s pleasures, from musing on the meditative joys of flower arranging or hikes in nature to pleasingly sweary moments of excitement (notably, exclaiming “You are objectively fine as fuck” in an interview with Black-ish actor Tracee Ellis Ross).
