Outflanking Platitudes: Theorising the Pandemic

I thought you might be interested in this new podcast series I’ve started. It’s the audio diary of a social theorist during the pandemic, with self-consciously rough thoughts, speculations which haven’t quite reached the status of work in progress. Mostly short thoughts from me but I’ll have conversations with other people as well. It will involve meta-reflections on the intellectual practice of theory, as well as the practice of doing theory through digital channels. 

You can listen online here. It will be online soon on all the major podcast services. I’ll be aiming to do at least one of these per week for at least the next few months.
