Episode 11 of the Take1 podcast looks at the application of sociological concepts to the coronavirus pandemic. In this episode, Ben covers whether the coronavirus can be considered a moral panic, and if so, who is the folk devil? The role media plays in the pandemic, covering issues of representation, the media as an agent of socialisation and how Baudrillard's ideas about hyper-reality and simulacra can help us understand the role of the media.   . He also looks at how the coronavirus has led to new social constructions of deviance and relativisation of deviance, by using an anecote about a pub toilet. The episode finishes by discussing new forms of formal and informal social control that have emerged since the outbreak of the virus, and considers the the usefulness of Foucault's ideas about surveillance.  . Shout outs to winners of the @allsociology 'World-class Wednesday' quiz question from 12/03/20 and 19/03/20 are also given at the start and end of the episode. This is genuinely a podcast for anyone with an interest in the application of sociology to a contemporary issue - irrespective of whatever level (if any!) you're studying at! .
