Sophy has an brilliant interview style , inquisitive and charming and wonderfully articulate . My favourites so far, Don Mccullin, I’ve extracted some brilliant one liners from him, and Laura Beatty for her subject matter Theophrastus.

  • Original and engaging

    Having listened to 5 episodes so far, I cannot wait for more. The self awareness and sensitivity that Sophy demonstrates as an observer/interlocutor/traveller/writer really shines through with her choice of guests, the interwoven subject matter, the diversity of ideas and the engagement with the very real and beautiful challenges we face globally and locally. Thank you for making this.
