Dear citizens of Sophie Land, this is your leader, Sophie Hagen. I'm going to tell you a little bit of

news and then I will let you listen to the episode in approximately 100 seconds. I am going to

take my brand new show called, I think some of this is my fault, to Melbourne, Sydney, Perth and

Brisbane in Australia, Auckland and Wellington in New Zealand, and those tickets are available

right now. I'm then taking the show to the Edinburgh French this August, and then I'm going

to Copenhagen, Udnsur, Malmue, Yott de Borg, Stockholm, Berlin and Rotterdam. All those tickets

should be available from February the 11th. And I can't wait for

you all to see the show. I hope you like it. And I hope to meet you. Of course I hope to meet you.

A quick note to say this podcast is self-produced, which is why you're not hearing half an hour

of ads. It's also why I have no jingle. So if you want to support the show and me, go to

patreon.com for it says Sophie Hagen and sign up for as little as three pounds a month. What is

three pounds a month? It's almost nothing. It helps me so, so much. And I'm going to start

working on getting some bonus content out as well as I thank you. But as for now, you're just

doing it for my gratitude and for an ad-free podcast. Thank you so much for moving to Sophie Land,

and I hope you love it here. Please enjoy the episode.

Okay, so the first question, welcome back this week. welcome back to this week um my first question so

the sort of a broad theme of this podcast is that you're in my um it's sophy land yeah

shut up yes i know there's a shop called sofa land it. It's not the same. And I need people to start

pointing that out because I've already got the domain. You're in my, it's my like, I'm the dictator, right? And I, and I, and I dictate. Why would you not just be the leader? But that's, I'm also the leader, but it's a dictatorship because I don't. It's, I like to think of it. You're a philosopher ruler.

Yeah, I like to think of it as like,
