Customer Reviews
One of my faves
Absolutely love this podcast, Sofie has such a beautiful way of interacting with her guests - I have learnt so much from these conversations, and been thoroughly entertained as well.
Anything Sofie touches turns to gold
Three of my favourite podcasts of all time feature Sofie, the other two being The Guilty Feminist (early eps) and Secret Dinosaur Cult. Each podcast has inevitably led me to the next as I follow Sofie on their adventures and interactions with wonderful and witty guests. Made of Human is a place Sofie has carved out themself and there’s a reason so many huge names agree to feature on it. There are no boring questions and they get down to the meat of interesting topics so quickly bc the rapport is just there like two friends in flow. It also sustained my sanity during a horrible tooth infection I endured while camping when I couldn’t do anything but lie down under the covers. Much love ❤️
Great thought provoking conversations
I have learnt a lot from listening to Sofie and her guests. It’s important to listen to a range of voices and opinions and open your mind to different perspectives. Thanks!
