We are pleased to announce that Society Today will soon be launching a podcast! Episodes will feature 15-30 minute conversations with the same scholars whose work has been featured in the blog.
Initial guests are being lined up and scheduled as I write this, with the first episodes likely to premiere in March or April. Read more below.
Something fascinating happens when two or more scholars engage in conversation.
Whereas academic writing is often formal, stiff, and (let’s be honest) boring, most conversations among academics are not. Ideas flow freely. Long-held beliefs are challenged. Arguments and counterarguments are composed at lightning speed.
The joy and intrigue of listening to such dialogues lie in the unexpected connections that emerge, the moments of sudden clarity, and the realization that knowledge is not just a destination but a journey—a journey that is infinitely richer when shared.
It is with great excitement and anticipation that we announce the upcoming launch of the Society Today Podcast!
Society Today has always been dedicated to bridging the gap between academic research and the intellectually curious public, translating complex ideas into accessible insights. Now, we’re taking this mission to the airwaves, creating a space where the voices of sociologists and thinkers can resonate more broadly, engaging our community in discussions that matter, and bringing these riveting conversations right to your ears.
Why a Podcast?
- Podcasts offer a uniquely intimate and convenient way to delve into the issues, trends, and questions shaping our society.
- They allow us to listen, learn, and reflect on our terms—whether we’re on a morning jog, commuting to work, or simply enjoying a quiet moment at home.
The Society Today Podcast aims to encapsulate this flexibility and intimacy, offering listeners a front-row seat to conversations that are as enlightening as they are engaging.
What to Expect
- The Society Today Podcast will feature a series of dialogues among leading sociologists, activists, and thought leaders, exploring a wide range of topics from the latest research findings to the social movements shaping our future.
- Each episode will be a deep dive into the minds of those who study society, offering perspectives that challenge the status quo and illuminate the path forward.
Whether you’re a sociology student, a seasoned academic, or just someone with a thirst for understanding the complexities of social life, this podcast is for you.
Stay Tuned!
