Carl Radke joins SOFEpod to talk about life after Summer House, the grief that reshaped everything, and how sobriety led him to launch SOFT Bar Café, a dry social experience that’s anything but boring. He opens up about the meaning behind his upcoming memoir Cake Eater and shares a surprising story involving Ben Roethlisberger that affirmed the title’s power. We get into the realest parts of his healing journey, play a round of Who Said That?! featuring iconic Bravo taglines, and wrap with an unfiltered Patreon bonus segment just for the real ones. This is Carl like you’ve never heard him before — grounded, honest, and glowing in his next chapter.
