Somebody Pinch Me with Sonia in Cyber
Somebody Pinch Me is a fearless political commentary and cultural critique podcast hosted by Sonia in Cyber — rebel, truth-teller, and 40+ firestarter. This show pulls no punches as it dissects American democracy, late-stage capitalism, white supremacy, fascism, and the toxic myths we were raised to believe about work, freedom, race, gender, wealth, power, and adulting in America. Every episode, we dive into the headlines, unpack the propaganda, and call out the gaslighting that makes modern America feel like a dystopian fever dream. From gun violence and Christian nationalism to healthcare inequality, corporate greed, and media manipulation — nothing is off-limits. Here, we expose propaganda. We challenge power and misguided logic. We name what others are afraid to say. Because politeness won’t save us, but truth might.
If you've ever shouted “This can’t be real life,” this podcast is your new home. Think rage-fueled reality check meets radical empathy.
