    I miss Hoda on the Today show! Thank goodness she has this podcast. It’s so inspirational, so real and my favorite podcast.

    Just what I need
    Hoda’s cool, collected, confident voice aside, it’s easy to look through episodes and find the ones with guests she invites specifically for me, for my mood or whatever I need that day. I’m sure your episodes are there too. Peace friends.

    Good morning Hoda
    Thank you for your great story lines and your honesty on your topics. I know you are leaving the TODAY Show in January. Could you do an episode on the WE ARE WORLD 40 years anniversary? I believe you are one who could and do it the right with all the living participants that are still living. Maybe Al Roker could possibly help you. Please take this under consideration as one of your greatest accomplishments before leaving this show. Plus I love your podcast interviews and I hope to you soon. Don E. Reeves, St. Louis.

    Hoda you are so lifting!
    Hoda’s interviews regardless of who is her guest, are so inspiring, lifting and offer refreshing life nuggets to help improve our lives and the lives of others. May she continue to expand her Space for this type of work which humanity needs❤️

    Oprah and Maria
    This interview truly BLESSED me. Oprah and Maria sharing the moment with the song By Thy Grace spoke to me and where I am in life right now. Their friendship also made me feel blessed to have the friendships I have.

    I always walk away with something new I learned and can use in my everyday life; even if it’s just a quote or mantra to live by. Thank you Hoda for always inspiring me to dig deep, reflect, and move forward.

    This podcast is a gift. Hodgdon brings out the authentic voice and story of every guest and literally creates the space they need to share it. Thank you Hoda Kotb for creating this podcast.
  • AK Ajijic
    I’m proud of Hoda!
    I remember in the 80s when Oprah’s show was trash then she pivoted and used her voice for a higher level of influence. Same here. The morning show ”schitck” made Hoda lots of money but two women acting like alcoholics with gossip and shallow topics must leave her feeling empty. I am so glad Hoda is finding a bigger surprise. Brava! *Gaby Bernstein episode: I am sorry for the loss of a baby but it made me realize how strong “I” am!!! To fall in a depression over a baby is understandable but I lost my only son at age 30 during Covid!!!! To spend 30 years, school, love, friendship. To raise a MAN and lose him? I am devastated but did not waste time in a pit of depression. I do so much to help others and make my light shine brighter!!!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    A ray of sunshine
    I absolutely love listening to Making Space… Hoda has such great energy that’s contagious! She’s intelligent, introspective and observant. She ask questions and listens while her guest answer. Which I love as a listener because I want to hear what they have to say. I make space to listen in the mornings. It’s a great start to my day. Thank you Hoda

    Thank you for sharing Jill’s story ! I am breast cancer survivor, and she had the best outlook on cancer, relationships and the “adventure “ of how to start everyday ❤️.

    Hora is the best!
    Hoda Kotb is the best interviewer. She asks all the right questions to her guests. It’s like listening to your best friend. I’ve gained a lot of insight by following her podcasts. I hope she continues doing her show after she leaves the Today Show.

    Your gift to us
    Thank you Hoda and team for curating very impactful and valuable content. I just listened to the episode with Dr. Haidt who shared what many of us already know about the negative impacts of screens for our children. I especially appreciate the realistic tips/advise he shared for parents to consider implementing in our parenting. Hoda, you and the work you do are a gift to all of us! ❤️👍🏾👏🏾

    Need a NEW commercial!
    Great show!!! Great show!!! However, if I have to hear the season 5 trailer one more time..I am going to scream! I’m sure many of you can recite it “but because it did.” Lord have mercy, we know!!!!!!!!!!!

    Making Space
    I am late to the party with Hoda’s podcast. That being said I enjoy every guest because Hoda is the friend we all love to have. She can talk about anything and never make judgement just reassuring she is listening. I look forward to my daily walks so I can spend time with Hoda too

    Greatest interviewer
    Ms Kotb has created an amazing place in this Universe with just her presence. In my opinion (that’s all it is) I believe she does such a better job speaking with gusts and interviewing someone as a soloist vs when she has a cohost. Her interviewing style is kind, compassionate, funny, witty, real, honest, and vulnerable just to name a few. When I listen to this podcast, I feel as though I am sitting in the room with her and her guest of the day, and that is an amazing feeling and what I want from a podcast! At 65 years young, I feel like I did in 8th grade and just wanted to hang out with the nerdy girl cause she was so self-assured but forced myself on the “cool” kid because my own self-esteem was so low… I would love to have lunch with Ms Hoda Kotb just because!!! This podcast has offered such a variety of guests and topics that are so inspiring and empowering for me as I’m journeying towards a comeback from a few life altering traumas in my life and MakiMy new favorite podcast… “Making Space” Love Love Love!!! Thank you Hoda for BEing the you that you are!

    Love Hoda
    Love her podcast. Love her authenticity and how she gives her guests space to tell their story.
  • Inspired Anita
    I love Hoda!!!
    I’m not a tv watcher, so I don’t know Hoda from that, but I am a podcast listener and this one is excellent. Today, I was feeling the need to be uplifted and I automatically thought of this podcast and was so happy with my choice. I listened to the Yumg Pueblo episode and it was exactly what I needed.

    From PR
    I like it more and more every episode. Your way of interviewing and the warmth of your voice make this podcast my favorite.
  • Bridgebridgey
    Best podcast ever!
    Excellent and uplifting! I love Hoda!
  • NickfromWesternPA
    A great time making space
    My only complaint is there is not enough episodes. Keep up the great conversation
  • Ah4au
    Every Single Episode is great!
    It’s rare that I catch myself smiling and giving little “Amens” through out podcasts (considering I mostly listen to True Crime), but this one does it every single episode. Hoda has a way of bringing out the best in every single person she interviews by making them so relatable. And you can just hear her smile as she talks to them. When I’m having a down day, an episode always restores my soul and leaves me feeling better.
  • PamBuf

    Thank you 💕
    This podcast is a gift. It will move you and inspire you. I laugh, cry, and answer, “Yes! So true!” as if Hoda & her friends can hear me. I wake up each day and “walk with Hoda” on my summer break. I start my days with gratitude and perspective. Thank you Hoda and the Making Space Team. Thank you for the gift of this phenomenal podcast. It is exactly what the world needs. 💕💕💕

    Yes, God is real
    Thank you for bringing me that story, I too have a very strong relationship with God and he helps me too every day, and he’s there for me whenever I need him. My husband passed away almost 2 years ago. We were together for 38 years. and God helps me guides me and lets me know that everything‘s gonna be all right and he also takes care of me 24 seven.
