Customer Reviews
Sweet Home Chicago
A very accessible podcast for seeing into a variety of communities.
In this day and age, I think most people have a desire to step out of their societal bubbles and be exposed to new things, but honestly, it's exhausting. My bubble is comfortable. However, this podcast manages to both explore other societal bubbles and still feel like I'm in the comfort of my own home (Sweet Home Chicago).
Good sound quality, good music. I look forward to new surprises.
For Chicago expats and enthusiasts
Sochiety makes me so homesick! I’ve been continually impressed at the quality of the interviewing and the breadth of topics covered. Each week it’s a community I’d never even thought of. Can’t wait for season 2. 💥
5 Stars!
Charismatic hosts with awesome perspectives to share. Offers a unique look into the many talented Chicago communities. Highly recommend!
