Surviving Society Productions

Informative and transformative. There is so much here to explore and think about.

The latest series on “The Crucible of Modernity” explores the reimagining of our lives and communities; necessary in a world of climate change and the persistence of colonialism. These are conversations of indigenous and colonised people to which those of us in the colonising must listen and learn from.

On the recommendation of interviewee Filiberto Penados (Ep 14th May 2024), I am reading Freire’s “Pedagogy of ... more

I’ve just discovered this - and am starting at the beginning. It’s so interesting listening to the earlier podcasts on critical race theory in the context of what’s happening in the US and UK now. I love the curiosity, rage and swearing - makes it fun to listen to and I’m learning so much. Thank you.

Discovered Surviving Society through the New Circuits of Anti-Racism Conference. Another valuable resource to support critical analysis of contemporary intersecting crises, and to offer a means of solidarity to anyone wanting to fight those crises.

Great discussions, guests, and hosts. Sociology in everyday terms.

This is a truly wonderful podcast; simultaneously democratising access to complex but extremely important ideas as well as enabling awareness of current activist projects, and perhaps most powerfully showing how academic thinking can and must be embedded in serious activism as a means to realising an inclusive and generative Left.

Really informative and necessary. Helps me to make sense of all the madness out there.

If you find yourself in the kitchen making dinner and not turning off The Moral Maze, I would recommend this podcast instead. Some amazing guests, and the super well-informed but super-amiable hosts are just the right people to interview them. I wish Radio 4 sounded exactly like this more of the time.

I wish something like this had been around in the early 90s when I studied my BA. Informative for so-called academics and non academics alike. Just brilliant. Thank you. Sophia.

This is a great find. I’m really enjoying this podcast.

Super enjoyed this podcast. But that production tho, Jesus, step away from the mic a bit. Maybe balance that audio.

I'm currently in the second year of a p/t masters. Iisso and Chantell are just amazing. My studies and knowledge have been so enhanced by this podcast. Critically taking the theory and applying it to the day to day. I wish something like this had been around in the early 90s when I studied my BA. Informative for so-called academics and non academics alike. Just brillaint. Thank you. Sophia.

Rate this podcast series. Topical, on point and well researched. Voices often unheard and silenced are explored. I’ve found two excellent books so far from listening to this series. So good to hear black UK experiences and critiques.

I can’t recommend this podcast enough, everyone should listen.

I’m History and Social Policy student and this is hands down the best resource I have come across. Surviving Society does what academia fails so often to do, Chantelle , Tissot and guests always take care to articulate complex ideas and theory simply and relate it to the real world.

I’m so grateful I’ve found it as undergrad, but everyone will benefit from listening.

You will finish every episode with an inspiring reading list ... more

I feel so lucky to have come across your podcast. My listening is pretty confined to law and politics and having just eagerly consumed your episodes about Russia and antisemitism and the interview with Nadine El-Enany my mind is completely blown. It’s almost as if new neuro pathways have opened up for me. I can’t wait to catch up on what I’ve missed. Thank you for sharing your fresh approach to dissecting societal structures. I’m an instant fan.

Everyone should listen to this podcast!
