The Sociology of Everything podcast is created and hosted by Eric Hsu and Louis Everuss who are currently sociologists at the University of South Australia.* Each episode, the podcast aims to stimulate public interest in sociological ideas by spotlighting a notable work or idea in the field of sociology. Listeners of the podcast will know that Eric and Louis are always keen to highlight the comedic aspects of social theories and that they probably laugh at their own jokes too much.
*The opinions expressed in the Sociology of Everything podcast are that of the hosts and/or guest speakers. They do not necessarily reflect the opinions of anyone else at UniSA or the institution at large.

The hosts and producers of the Sociology of Everything podcast would like to acknowledge that they primarily work on the lands of the Kaurna people. They would like to pay their respects to Elders past, present and emerging. And they would like to recognize the special and enduring relationship the Kaurna people have with the skies, waterways, and lands of the Adelaide region, which were never ceded.
