A.K. 47 year in review
This is the first time I have noticed this “backtrack” feature of my podcast host, Buzzsprout. It’s nice to have an overview of these things sometimes, especially since I post new episodes so sporadically. January will be the 5th year anniversary of A.K. 47. Although I only recorded, edited, and published 20 episodes in 2023, I am quite pleased that they have reached listeners in 99 countries.

Everyday Utopia to be featured on Science Podcast →
In 1999, historian Londa Schiebinger summed up two decades of feminist analyses of science by asking Has Feminism Changed Science? (1). The answer was “yes, but…” there was still work to do. Indeed, the study of sex and gender continues to affect scientific thought, and in 2023, Science will explore some of these influences in a limited podcast series. The team behind the series—host Angela Saini; Science books and culture editor, Valerie Thompson; Science podcast producer, Sarah Crespi; and myself—found a wealth of new work to consider. The series, announced today to coincide with Science’s special issue on human reproduction, will begin on 25 May 2023 and continue monthly thereafter for 6 months. During each broadcast, an author will discuss their distinctive take on the relationships—past, present, and future—between sex, gender, and science.
