In this episode of the Remedy Revolution podcast, we are thrilled to welcome the incredibly talented writer Jenna McCarthy, who is here to discuss her latest anthology, "Yankee Doodle Soup: For the Fringy, Tin Foil Hat-Wearing Conspiracy Theorists Soul." This unique collection features essays from a diverse array of contributors, all sharing one common thread: something positive about the pandemic. From well-known doctors and scientists to speakers, podcasters, authors, attorneys, and editors, the anthology showcases a rich tapestry of perspectives. Among the contributors are an Emmy Award-winning former news anchor, a bridal gown designer, a whistleblower, a rock band, and one notably “pissed-off, childless, married woman of a certain age who didn’t do anything meaningful in her life until [Covid].”
Notable contributors to "Yankee Doodle Soup" include several former guests of the Remedy Revolution podcast: Dr. Pierre Kory, Zoey O'Toole, Frances Scott, and Helena Summer. The essays in the anthology are described as warm, witty, wise, and wondrous, providing exactly the kind of uplifting content the world craves in these challenging times.
Jenna McCarthy herself is a prolific author, having written twenty books including "The War on Ivermectin" with Dr. Pierre Kory. With a background in humor writing, Jenna has contributed to over sixty publications, translated her work into multiple languages, and served as an editor for Mademoiselle, Seventeen, and Shape magazines. Known for her comedic flair, Jenna has even taken her talents to the stage with a couple of TED talks that were well-received, earning her the additional title of public speaker.
Join us as Jenna shares the inspiration behind her first anthology, her experience navigating the pandemic, and the incredible stories that make "Yankee Doodle Soup" a must-read. This episode is a delightful exploration of resilience, creativity, and the unexpected silver linings of a global crisis.
