This week, John Sides from The Monkey Cage joins us for a discussion about podcasting, blogging, and political blogs. The show is split into four segments:

  1. A discussion of podcasting and public social science inspired by John’s post on political science podcasts.
  2. The history of The Monkey Cage and a discussion of the perception of blogs by academics.
  3. A discussion of political blogs sparked by John’s article on the subject.
  4. How blogging can actually help with academic research and teaching.

David Phillippi from Mind of Modernity joins the conversation this week. We kick things off with a discussion of liberal professors and political bias in sociology. Arturo unleashes his inner radical, pleading with us to “be the counter-narrative”, while Jon and Chris bring him down with a depressing case for the End of Sociology.
