Each episode centers on a different topic and is accompanied by a bibliography of annotations and citations that encourages further curiosity and underscores the conversation's place in a larger web of cultural conversations. ## Machine-readable JSON: https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/the-podcast-for-social-research-1078639 Markdown: https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-podcast-for-social-research-1078639.md ## Episodes - [Episode 98: Sophie Lewis's Femmephilia, Gender, Pleasure, and the Politics of Girly Things](https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-podcast-for-social-research-1078639/episode-98-sophie-lewis-s-femmephilia-gender-pleasure-and-the-politics-of-girly-things) — 2026-07-03T16:01:00+00:00 - [Podcast for Social Research, Episode 97: Slop Machine Anna Kornbluh and Kate Wagner on the Aesthetics of Contemporary Fascism](https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-podcast-for-social-research-1078639/podcast-for-social-research-episode-97-slop-machine-anna-kornbluh-and-kate-wagner-on-the-aesthetics-of-contemporary-fascism) — 2026-06-12T17:43:00+00:00 - [Podcast for Social Research, Episode 96: Here Where We Live Is Our Country, An Evening with Molly Crabapple](https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-podcast-for-social-research-1078639/podcast-for-social-research-episode-96-here-where-we-live-is-our-country-an-evening-with-molly-crabapple) — 2026-06-05T16:27:00+00:00 - [Podcast for Social Research, Episode 95: On Crisis and the Origins of Modern Iran](https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-podcast-for-social-research-1078639/podcast-for-social-research-episode-95-on-crisis-and-the-origins-of-modern-iran) — 2026-04-15T16:22:00+00:00 - [Podcast for Social Research, Episode 94.5: B.F.
