Faced with the misery of lockdown, former Radio Cambridgeshire broadcasters Paul Stainton and Ronnie Barbour brought a smile to listeners with their daily podcast called The Antidote. Watch below

For 60 days, the friends have talked about every topic under the sun in the hope of bringing some joy into people's homes during lockdown.

Paul said: "We just wanted to raise some smiles as there was not enough fun, entertainment or stupidity around."

Attracting 250 downloads a day, tens of thousands have watched the daily podcasts which have poked fun at anything from the news to quarantine dreams.

"We have looked for the fun in anything we can find," said Paul.

But as the lockdown is easing with some people going back to work, Paul and Ronnie have decided today is the last one of the daily podcasts.

But fear not, as they've come up with a new weekly podcast instead - no name as yet - which will start this Friday.
