I am thrilled (if nervous) to share that I am scheduled to go on the Leonard Lopate Show on WNYC on Monday at 12 noon (E.T.). Please tune in at 93.9 FM and AM 820 if you’re in the New York area, or listen online. I will get to talk with him live and in person at WNYC’s studio in downtown Manhattan.

Hopefully it goes well. As my wife says, the man could read a phone book and it would make for compelling radio.

I’m looking forward to catching up with friends and colleagues at the American Sociological Association annual meeting in Chicago this weekend. Hmm, wonder what people think sociologists do when they gather en masse?

(I’m pretty sure my supervisor doesn’t think I sleep on the job, though she is rather suspicious of the comfy couch in my office …)

This week, I’ll be taping several radio interviews—stay tuned for airtimes and podcast info.

Here’s my recent interview with Detroit’s Peter Werbe:
