Hi, I’m Alice and I produce Uncommon Sense, working with the team here – around the world – at The Sociological Review. We’re taking a short summer break, and will be back in September ready and refreshed for the new term, and with a new episode for you … So, while Rosie and Alexis have some well-earned time-outs – and catch up on reading for forthcoming shows on things like Cities, Emotion and Noise – we have a request. Could you use just a few of those spare 45 minutes this month to share some
of your thoughts with us? To be precise, we'd like to know how we can help you ... If you're an educator – at whatever level – we'd like to know, do you use podcasts in your teaching? If so, how? And which ones? Maybe you've even asked your students to make their own? And if you don't use them, then why not? What gets in the way of that? And how could Uncommon Sense do more to help you to promote and explain the sociological
imagination? ... And if you're a student or a researcher, we want to know what Uncommon Sense has done for you so far? Has it made you think about how you explain your work to non-academic friends? Maybe even that most challenging of audiences, your parents!? ... And if you're neither of the above, you're still very much part of the Uncommon Sense community! We want to know what keeps you listening? And whether we've prompted you to "see the world afresh through the eyes of
sociologists"? That's what we promise at the top of pretty much every episode ... Share your thoughts with us by email at uncommonsense@thesociologicalreview.org, by Instagram @thesocreviewpodcasts, and on Twitter @thesocreview. You can also read and comment on the latest blog all about using podcasts and teaching from The Sociological Review's podcast lead Professor Michaela Benson over at thesociologicalreview.org ... And recommend us to friends,
family and more. It's easy to subscribe – look us up in whatever app you use and tap "follow" ... We'll be back in September ... See you soon!
