    Interesting topics and guests
    I love all the NBN podcasts, they are so interesting and informative. However sometimes the audio from the guests is hard to hear/understand... but everything else about these podcasts is great. So happy I found them!

    Informative, Fascinating, and Oh So Social!
    All of the amazing NBn hosts, along with their fascinating guests, do a phenomenal job at providing an in-depth look into the latest Sociology publications without giving away too much! The wide variety of topics they cover and the engaging way in which they do so had me hooked from the very first listen. Thanks for putting out such an enjoyable show guys - keep up the great work!

    Good so far
    Thus far, the podcast has had decent conversation surrounding new books in sociology. The interviewers sound somewhat knowledgable and the guests provide some interesting insight into their books. The production quality is so-so, but listenable.
