Comedy, Community, a Little Psilocybin

from The Brighter Side Hosted by The Last Podcast Network

Amber and Ashley sat down with Julia Johns and Ellisa Kalver to discuss finding the light in the darkest of times, the communities found through cancer treatment, and their personal experiences with psilocybin therapy. Ellisa is the founder of We Got This, the first nonprofit gift registry for cancer patients. Their annual fundraising comedy show, Cancer Is a Joke, is a night of stand-up built by and for the cancer community: survivors, thrivers, caregivers, and all the people in-between. The show takes place November 15 at Dynasty Typewriter in Los Angeles. The Brighter Side is a cynic’s look at optimism. We try and find the positive in this horror show we call Earth. Stay outta that church, and spark up a joint, because everything is going to be alright. We're in this together. Hosted by Ed Larson, Amber Nelson, Ashley Brooke Roberts, and Julie Rosing. Theme song by the Cowmen. Logo by Dave Koehler. Subscribe to SiriusXM Podcasts+ to listen to new episodes of The Brighter Side ad-free.
