Making The Familiar Strange Podcast
A sociology podcast for non-sociologists.

This is finding the strange in the familiar.
Every episode, Dr. Erin Baker and a co-host who isn’t in the field will be interviewing other sociologists about their work. Keep listening to learn how to Make the Familiar Strange.
