  • We all love Sophie but…

    … I think the scripted elements with characters will need time to grow on me. I’ll still be following and listening though!

  • Differently weirdly amazing

    This podcast is quite simply slightly weird, slightly crazy, and different from those everyday podcasts that are just chat…it’s just a fabulous mix of fascinating and engaging interviews led by the wonderful Sophie Aldred, and a crazy world of a fictional and very unusual spaceship with a talking goldfish and all sorts of other indescribable insanities. It’s a definite winner in a very crazy weird kind of way!!!
