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. 💥 New episodes weekly. 🎧 Listen free — or become a paid supporter for exclusive content and discounts on resistance apparel and radical self-care tools.

You ever notice how some politicians claim to “support women,” but somehow the numbers — and the damage — always tell another story? You ever hear men say they “care about women” and then watch them slash funding for childcare, healthcare, and education — all while patting themselves on the back?
In this episode, we confront the hypocrisy head-on, exposing how this administration’s actions are rolling back decades of progress for w...
Protest isn’t un-American — it is America. In this episode, we dig into the history of protest as a cornerstone of democracy, from the Boston Tea Party to the No Kings protests of 2025. We unpack why taking to the streets matters, how movements spark courage in others, and why not everyone has to resist the same way to make an impact. Whether you march, speak, amplify, or protect — this is how we remind power who it serves.

Trans lives are not a debate — they’re human lives. In this episode, we cut through the political noise and talk honestly about what it means to be trans in America right now: the fear, the resilience, the legislation, the misinformation, and the relentless humanity behind it all. From bathroom bills to book bans to targeted violence, we expose how manufactured outrage is used to control and dehumanize — and how allyship, visibilit...
Every time there’s another shooting, the cycle repeats: thoughts, prayers, outrage… and silence. In this episode, we unpack why America keeps failing to act, how media bias warps who gets empathy and who doesn’t, and why so many people only care when it finally hits home. We dig into the uncomfortable truth about gun violence, selective outrage, and what real accountability would actually look like in a country that’s gotten far to...
Ever wonder what Adolf Hitler’s Germany and Donald Trump’s America really have in common? Ever hear someone say, “Trump’s not Hitler,” and wonder how far we’ll go before we admit history’s got a new logo?
In this episode, we unpack the modern makeover of old-school fascism — the branding, the gaslighting, and the crowd control. What used to be uniformed rallies are now campaign tours with theme songs. What used to be propaganda is...
Ever scroll past a tragedy only to feel your stomach drop — not from shock, but from recognition? In this episode, we confront this uncomfortable truth: the media and society don’t treat all victims equally. A notable person's death becomes a global emergency, while weekly violence against kids and marginalized communities barely makes the ticker.
Today, we highlight the selective outrage that defines our news cycle, ...
Ever see that photo of the gilded ballroom — the one dripping in gold while the country crumbles outside? The gold ceilings. The crystal chandeliers. The marble floors. Built for the powerful, funded by the wealthy, and sold to the rest of us as “American greatness.” And it isn’t just décor — it's a symbol of how money quietly rewrote the rules of politics and transformed democracy into a gated event. They call it a ballroom, ...
You ever feel that flash of judgment or frustration in the grocery line when someone pays with food stamps or feel like a failure having to use an EBT card yourself? That frustration, anger, exhaustion, envy so many of us feel is real but misplaced. It's not about who's getting help – it's about who's profiting off our struggle.
In this episode of Somebody Pinch Me with Sonia in Cyber, we expose the real enemy be...
Every time America does something cruel, violent, or inhumane, someone says, “This isn’t who we are.” But what if it is? In this episode, we confront America’s favorite myth: its innocence. With empathy and fire, we unpack the stories we tell ourselves to avoid accountability, from our founding lies to our modern denials. We tear down the illusion of moral exceptionalism and ask what most people are afraid of: what if the problem i...
The world feels unbearably heavy right now. But if you’re exhausted, anxious, or numb — you’re not weak, you’re paying attention. Somebody Pinch Me is for the ones who refuse to normalize the chaos, who crave truth and connection in a world that gaslights you for caring.
Hosted by Sonia in Cyber, a multicultural feminist voice and relentless optimist, this podcast brings real, honest reflections on “America the Broken,” life after 4...

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
