Bed Peace with London Hughes

In this episode of The Antidote, Amy and Grace connect with comedian, writer, and actor London Hughes about the practice of letting your sparkle show, how sex is self-care, and letting things come to you. Amy and Grace share their bummer news of the week –  the FBI’s 40-year investigation of Aretha Franklin, and how some hospitals are raking in high profits while their patients drown in medical debt. They also share their antidote: wanderlust. This week’s Creative Tap-In:  “Life can be dark and horrible, but what makes humans so resilient is their ability to find the light in dark situations. I think that’s the only reason why we’re still on this planet.” -Quinta Brunson Purchase tickets to our live show: https://nycomedyfestival.com/lineup/the-antidote-podcast-live/   Do you have a favorite antidote or need an antidote suggestion?

Well, guys, I read on Vice recently that there are all these wild things coming out from FBI's 40 year investigation of Aretha Franklin. Grace Forty years. Amy I didn't even know that they were investigating her like that. Apparently the FBI file shows the singer was under investigation from. 1967 to 2007. Grace Wow.
