What makes ARTIDOTE different from other interview podcasts?

ARTIDOTE is a podcast where one steps away from the noise. We're drawn to the books, ideas, and conversations that linger, the ones that surface quietly in your thoughts during long walks or late-night moments of solitude.

In a world that never stops moving, we carve out pockets of stillness. We're trying to build a library of contemporary classics, thoughts that feel both urgent and eternal, examining what draws us to them and why they won't let us go. Our conversations drift into the spaces where understanding blooms slowly, where something shifts and settles into place.

Our aim is not to make content, a type of content that one consumes and forgets, but to leave a lasting conversations that people will listen to long time in the future.

We aim to make sustenance for the restless mind.

An ambitious aim, but that is what life is worth living for.
