I will admit that BBC's Thinking Allowed is a podcast I do not listen to every week. I feel I should, since I used to regard myself as a sociologist, or at least half a sociologist, but in podcasts I am usually more attracted to history. I will check Thinking Allowed every week, though, in order to skim the subject and pick regularly something that appeals to me.Last week's issue about Richard Hoggart was one such episode. I found it fascinating to get acquainted with this theorist and how his work developed. I gives a taste for how varied sociology can be and how much we invest our own in it. I hope you can still extract the program from the feed and if you can, I recommend you listen.
