As a disciplinary service and public sociology project, I run the Sociocast Project, which produces academic sociology podcasts and develops resources to promote podcasting in our discipline. As of Spring 2019, our catalog received an average of rouhgly 500 daily listens.
Our flagship show is The Annex, co-hosted by me and two grad school friends working at UCLA and Georgetown. It is a lighthearted banter and interview show about academic sociology. The show is available on iTunes, Google Play, Stitcher, Spotify, and Radio Free Public.
