Customer Reviews
Fun Show
This is a feel good social experiment that is led by a host who knows how to yield the right of way to interesting guests.
Powerful interviews
Alex is an absolutely brilliant interviewer who really asks great questions to flesh out his subjects and make them feel like complete individuals. I get really invested in their friendships and relationships.
A lovely slice of life!
Sometimes it’s hard to get in to interview style podcasts because if the host and guest don’t have a good rapport and don’t create an inclusive energy, it can become uninteresting quickly. Social Animals is a lovely slice of life podcast that is very inclusive for any listener, has great tempo in discussion, and good energy to keep everyone engaged. I definitely recommend this podcast for anyone, but especially those into interview podcasts. 👍🏻
