Work in Progress with Sophia Bush

by iHeartPodcasts

Work in Progress with Sophia Bush features frank, funny, personal, professional, and sometimes even political conversations with people who inspire Sophia about how they’ve gotten to where they are, and where they think they’re still going. These discussions stem from her "aha" moment of realizing you are allowed to be both a masterpiece and a work in progress, simultaneously.

I absolutely loved this episode from the humor to real life stuff it was amazing to hear Chelsea talk about real life issues that are so relatable right now. It shifted my mindset to what I’m going through currently. I loved the way Sophia interviewed her and was super thoughtful with her responses. Part 2 please!!

Angel_Mariel · Dec 2024

Thank you Sophia for speaking the truth so eloquently. We need more people like you with a platform to do the same. This podcast is so informative even for those of us who think we’re in the know. We are going to need you these next 4 years (at least) to help us keep positive and keep organizing.

chgrpads · Nov 2024

Ok, so I need to change my 1 star review to a 5, because I love you, I love Drama Queens, and I have really appreciated the perspectives of all involved as a 45 year old woman. But listening to your Kamala Harris episode, which I was super excited about, I just about stopped dead in my tracks to hear an ad against the Florida amendment 4 (legalizing marijuana). I’ll say whatever your take on the actual legalization (which I think is so much healthier than alcohol consumption), the fact that you ran an ad created by the FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION is unconscionable. I’m a teacher in the state of Florida, and I have witnessed over the last several years an attack on many of the very people and principals that you speak up for. The FLDOE is not an ally… and to give them ad space on your podcast is a huge red flag for me. I hope you reconsider where your spending goes. Thank you, Melisa
