Podcasts have been with me for many years. They took up the space that radio probably occupies for other people. After a long absence, my series of podcast recommendations is now being reactivated. First up: Soziopod, a theory podcast with a lot of content.
Soziopod: high-level theories
The Soziopod podcast series, created by Dr. Nils Köbel, an educational scientist in Mainz, and Patrick Breitenbach, a PR blogger and lecturer at the Karlshochschule, resonates well with my academic nature. Together, they discuss pioneering theories and take a scientifically sound approach to current issues.

The format is particularly appealing: first, some theoretical principles are explained, then the discussion begins. The hosts are not afraid of big names: Karl Popper, Karl Marx, Joachim Gauck, Christian Wulff, Emmanuel Kant. The topics are equally meaningful: the Frankfurt School, constructivism, identity, education or even “evil”. “You cannot just listen in on it, otherwise you will miss something,” says the intro. That is correct.
