A Sophie for the Long Haul

  • Summary

  • Season 1 Episode 17

    In this final episode of the podcast for season 1, I got to chat with Sophie, the founder and Creative Director of Berlin Buyers Club. From their website: "Berlin Buyers Club was born in March 2023 with three goals:

    1. To spread awareness of Long Covid and adjacent diseases in a way that is relatable and accessible to younger people, as well as anyone else who feels drawn to the vibe.

    2. To encourage people to get involved in advocating for Long Covid & ME/CFS research, treatments, preventatives, and cures.

    3. To offer a safe space for people with Long Covid, ME/CFS, and PSSD and their allies.
    If you can relate to any of this, if you'd like to help us spread the message, if you're interested in normalizing discussion about Long Covid and the need for treatments and preventatives, if you want clean air... Then you're a part of the Club too! Welcome."

    Sophie and I discussed her experience with long covid, how she came to start BBC, how it has impacted her, and yes, we talk about how cool it was to see Violet Affleck wearing some of the Berlin Buyer's Club merch! We talk about what healthcare has looked for each of us in our respective countries of residence, ways to channel our anger, and advocacy efforts. I hope you'll tune in!
